The New Year

Happy New Year Everyone,

Today is a new day and yes even a new year. What will this year bring, I have no idea. I can plan for tomorrow and hope for what I want, but it is time to take it one step at a time. It is so easy to become driven by tomorrow that we forget about today. We forget how to live, how to love, how to be loved.

I was talking to a friend and this friend doesn't know if they can love themselves, but they yearn to love someone else. This is how I see the truth, in order to love we must first learn how to love and except ourselves. We must first forgive ourselves for the wrongs or area's we feel unworthy of, but it starts with ourselves. When we are able to see ourselves for a creation with imperfections, but love who we are, forgive ourselves for the things we don't love. We are able to see the truth more fully about life. I would take a stab at this and say that may 5 out of a 100 people are able to do this. It is hard, it hurts to look at our pasts and let go of the hurts. We can live in the past or take hold of the today. This year it is about living in the truth and not living for the past. People will die looking at the past and seeing the good that is gone, instead of seeing the good that is here today. Today has presented itself as life, tomorrow isn't here yet, yesterday is gone (water under the bridge), but today is a new day and in this day it means a new way.

Are you ready to take this trip with me. I am not going anywhere, but taking each day one day at a time. One step at a time. I don't know what my future holds, but I do know who holds my future. Do you know who holds your future? Isn't it time to know that? I have learned a lot in the past 2 years, it has been a journey not an easy one, but worth the struggles, the struggles I learned from, the pain I learned from, the encouragement I learned from and just being alone I learned from. It can't be about what I want, but what God wants in my life. First and foremost it is God, then others then me. It was not easy to see that, but it was the truth that sets us free. It is time to be set free from our pasts. Forgive ourselves and let go and grab on today and see that today holds life, truth and so much more. Stop living for yesterday, because it is gone. We can't change it, but we can learn from it. It is not a failure if we learn. So learn from the mistakes and grow and change. Don't be afraid, for there is hope.

Have a wonderful day.
