Stepping into the new year is significant I believe. Yes, it may be just another calendar day to some, but for many of us, we feel the importance in the dawning of a new season.
This year for me personally it has been refreshing to let go of some stuff that I didn’t need anymore. Disappointment, trauma, and shock was weighing heavily on my shoulders from a year of crazy circumstances. A simple exchange was all it took. To do this in my own strength would be impossible. The credit goes only to Jesus. He took the disappointment, trauma and shock in exchange for His HOPE, joy and incredible peace.
I can step forward into the new year lighter and free.
“Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. Praise the Lord, my soul, and forget not all his benefits— who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:1-5)
