18 “Remember not the former things,nor consider the things of old.Behold, I am doing a new thing;now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19(ESV)

The new year is always a time where we begin to reevaluate ourselves where we are and where we would like to be. We come up with our 2015 game plan. We join a gym, we begin to clean up our diets and we make all these plans to make major moves in the new year. But as soon as the enthusiasm begins to diminish so does our motivation to see those plans through. The truth is nothing will change for the better in our lives if our heart hasn't changed.
Real change can only take place when we begin to allow God to renew our minds. If we are holding on to the very things that God wants to free us from we become complacent and begin to fall back into old habits. I don't know about you but I don't waste another year going around and around in the same circle, with my own plans. I don't want to get so comfortable in the wilderness when I know that God's intention for me is to reach the promise land.
As we move forward into the new year I want to encourage you to leave all the toxic habits. friends and relationships from 2014 where they belong -behind you. Moving forward into 2015 resolve in your mind that God is doing new things in your life and commit to allowing Him to change your heart in the areas that are keeping you stagnant and chase after God and His propose with all that you have.
An Open Letter For You:
I'd like to take a moment to thank those who have taken the time to read and share my blog. It really does means the world to me. I've posted over 90+ blogs and I am excited about what God is doing in my life and being able to share what I've learned with you. I believe that everything that has led up to this point in my life was worth it and I am honored that God is pouring His wisdom into me. My desire is to serve and move forward into my purpose and I know that by the grace of God things will begin to fall into place.
I believe that there is a purpose for every season of our lives and I know that where I am right now will prepare me for great things in the future. God has been so faithful and I cannot begin to thank Him enough but I will spend my life trying. I don't have everything figured out but I am going to trust God for my next steps.
This will be my last post of 2014 I'm going to celebrate and ring in the New Year with a grateful heart and a lot of prayer. I hope that you have a safe and happy time wherever you are and that you will be blessed beyond measure in 2015! I'm praying for you and I love you.
God Bless!
Love,
