Welcome to 2018- Reflections on 'the new'

01 January 2018- Reflections on ‘the new’ 
Art by Lara

As we step into the first days of the new year 2018, I thought it was the best time to write down a few thoughts. Not new year resolutions as such, but some pointers to ‘the new’ .
Being alive to witness January 1 in itself is tangible evidence of stepping into something new.

My thoughts are running along the lines of asking myself what I will do with ‘the new’ opportunities coming my way? In what ways can I embrace ‘the new’ and thus be aligned ever more closely to my purpose. Writing some of my thoughts down and sharing them like this is one. 

In 2018 I want to be kinder to myself and be even more self aware. These two things are powerful ways of being mindful and I believe this will take me to being intentional on new levels.

‘The new’ is another expression of Romans 12:2 which is a favourite scripture I come back to again and again because of the highly potent power of God that comes through His transformation, catalysed by continually opening up my mind to ‘the new’

And so my prayer for myself and all who read this today is that we will have realisations and recognitions that will bring us to making new choices for ourselves, and that this will make us develop ‘the new’ in every regard, in growth producing ways. Amen

Happy New year, and may all our thoughts be aligned with heaven’s purpose so that we will walk in it with boldness as we continually embrace ‘the new’
In addition- to hold on, stand firm and stick with it no matter what, so that we will be living examples to the glory of God, of those who have been blessed with abundant grace to endure for the sake of that which we have been called. 


Go conquer 👊🏾
