__My Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

I hope you enjoyed the music and are feeling rested and renewed as I begin\u00a0 to share today’s blessing for this week.<\/em><\/h3>\n

I began my journey through this year with 365 days ahead of me. <\/em><\/p>\n

My ONE WORD is \u201c365 Days.\u201d\u00a0 Thank you for coming to visit.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

Today’s blessing is BEGINNINGS. We all need to know that there is always a moment when we can begin again.\u00a0 I hope you are able to just relax today, and pray about this day, and seek out what God has for you to begin again.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

My focus is always on the Word of God, the Holy Bible, where we meet our Creator, and discover the beginnings of everything that exists.\u00a0 Reading the Bible helps us to understand our world, today, and how we can believe and embrace our Creator. But best of all, as I read the Bible I see that there is always a time when we can begin again, to live the life God has planned for us.<\/em><\/p>\n

A prayer of blessings can change every aspect of your day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If there is one thing I have specialized in in my life, it is the choice to begin again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I receive my “one word” on January first, each year, it is a way of BEGINNING AGAIN.<\/p>\n

We all face various times and seasons, and we adjust as we live out our lives. I hope to adjust through the years and strive to become closer to our God and to listen for His voice as he coaches me on my pathway through the years. Learning to listen for His voice helps us to stay focused on following the life plan he created for us, individually. There is no other person who will ever be like you!<\/p>\n

I like this scripture, if I begin to look at someone else and think I should be more like that person.<\/p>\n

We try to control our life. But, perfection is not to be desired, nor is it good practice.\u00a0 It is self-centered, remote, and it burns up our time in ways that are not worthy of who God created us to be. We need to know that each morning, we can begin again. I begin each day by speaking JOY for the day. I say aloud, “Today I choose JOY. \u00a0It is a choice, always, how our day will begin. The choice is ours to make, so do it wisely.<\/p>\n

Below: I consider 3 of the blessings available to begin:<\/strong><\/p>\n

#1_We can begin anew each morning. <\/strong><\/p>\n

There is not a need to look back over our shoulder to see what we missed yesterday. It’s over. Put it behind you and begin again for the discoveries for this new day. Allow Jesus to be your guide for moving into this new day. Seek him when you open your eyes each morning.<\/p>\n

The Creator of Time will walk with us on a new journey for TODAY. Decide what you will embrace and speak it aloud.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As for me, I choose JOY. I say it aloud as soon as I wake up. I greet Jesus, our creator, God, and the Holy Spirit, fresh and new each morning. And I declare, “I choose Joy today.”It is truly that easy. Don’t worry about what you say, or how you say it. Our Father is there and he is waiting with boundless joy, to greet the new morning with us.\u00a0 What will you choose to say to him in the morning. \u00a0Say it with a smile and a heart full of gratitude.<\/p>\n

#2_<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seek to be balanced as you determine to begin again. Be thankful that you have this option and that you don’t have to be burdened down with past failures, decisions, or mistakes. Simply, confess your failures to Jesus and ask him to forgive you and you are set free to be who God created you to be.<\/p>\n

I love the advice that Cory Ten Boom said about this. She responded that as God\u00a0 forgives us for our sins, he tossed them into the deepest sea.\u00a0And he put up a sign that reads, “No Fishing!” \u00a0Now, you can truly begin again, fresh, and new, forgiven and now, you have a guide for life, for every day.<\/p>\n

#3_<\/strong><\/p>\n

Seek out what the Bible has to say. Here, while reading the Bible, is where you will experience a personal conversation with God. He speaks to us through His Word. There are a number of programs that provide a guide through the Bible, or you can simply take it on your own. I read the Bible slowly. I have no limits as to the amount I will read, or when.\u00a0I do know that the more I read the Bible, the more I learn about myself and about humanity, and God’s plan for us.<\/strong><\/p>\n
