2025 New Year Greetings

Wishing You a happy new year and a time to reflect on our blessings. This is also a time for some of us to reflect on the challenges that seemed to overwhelm us, However, this New Year’s greeting is to encourage you to start where you are and experience the power of your new beginnings in this new year. 

The First Step

Every journey begins with a first step. and I invite you to join me and start where you are. Begin with the first step! The first step is to start with the end in mind. It means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means knowing where you need to go and having a better understanding of where you are now so that your steps are always in the right direction. 

King Solomon, one of the wisest men in history said, "There is a time for everything, a time for every activity under the sun." (Ecclesiastes 3:1- 20) Now is the time for you to begin or continue to walk on the road to your purpose and destiny. Know that God has a plan for everyone, yes, that plan includes you!

Cycles Of Life

God provides cycles of life -- each one with its work and purpose for you to do. Although sometimes you might face many problems that seem to contradict God's plan. Do not allow these challenges to become a stumbling block. This is a time you should look at these challenges as a great opportunity to trust God and renew your mind. Your renewed mind will guide your footsteps as you progress along the pathway of life. 

Also, when you learn a new way of thinking, you can wake up every day and live with a full sense of purpose. You can experience a new life shift with the right tools to identify and transform negative thoughts and behaviors and not get stuck in time. When you can no longer think of a reason to continue, you must renew your mind and think about why you must start over with a positive new beginning. 

Renew Your Mind 

Renew your mind knowing that you can do everything that God has called you to do, because it is Jesus Christ who strengthens you. Know that your wisdom from God will guide you with steps to start where you are for turning the ending into new beginnings.

Your new way of thinking will empower you to change the things you can change, also to let go of the things you can't change and ask God to let you know the difference. Your renewed mind will empower you to accept and embrace reality and keep life as simple as possible. 

When you are willing to change you will realize that change is like a breath of fresh air. Growth is impossible without change. Be willing to allow the new way of thinking to take you to fresh areas in your life. Smile because you appreciate the life lessons you have learned on your journey.

Smile because nothing is more powerful than a person who has struggled through life challenges and tears and is still standing. You can smile because you learned from it and gained strength to rise above it with God's help. You can smile because in the end it is not what you have gone through that defines you, it is how you got through it that has made you the stronger person you are today.

The Bible says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. Therefore, you can smile today and become the person you are capable of being in this season of your life.

The key is working from the inside out and knowing where you are spiritually and naturally and learning from your mistakes. Start where you are and experience the power of your new beginning. 

Happy New Year!
