Sitting here in my comfortable space, doing what I do…me. The more time passes, the more at peace I feel and the happier I become each day. One thing I have realized is that we, as a people, are truly hurting, bitter, and lost. Something has taken place since Covid that has really affected the mental health of so many of us. What I also realize, and that too many of us are denying, is that if we don’t do something about this crisis, we are doomed.
With it being just two days from a new year, I encourage others, as I too, look to stay encouraged, that all of the negativity from 2022 stays here. 2023 is going to be the year of NEW! There will be new opportunities, new blessings, and a new purpose.
With all of the newness that awaits, I continue to look forward to showibg my new ME in 2023. There will be no room for the things that ail us right now. This has been our winning season, and 2023 we will continue to peacefully continue our journey to success. There is no time to lose focus, no time for convenient Christians.
As we continue to do the work of God, let us, as believers, pray, and walk purposely in the steps God has ordered. We must be ready at all times to withstand the trials, and fight the enemy who seeks to steal, kill and destroy us Mentally…physically…spiritually. Let’s intentionally be prepared for the NEW that awaits, and be a part of positive change.
We have to be mentally and spiritually healed so that we always reveal the best version of ourselves; always staying true to who we are; never being a CONVENIENT CHRISTIAN, but genuine with our intentions and always transparent. I am excited about what 2023 will reveal, and I am ready for the NEWNESS that is to come. No longer Dying to be Perfect, lets now Turn our Pain into our Prayerful Purpose and rock 2023! Boldly and proudly I shout SEE THE NEW ME IN 2023.
When I reflect on all that I made it through, I came to the realization that God has brought me through too much to not take Him seriously. There is no chance that I will get comfortable in my Christianity. The shift I feel in my life has me fearful. I’m almost afraid. It’s as if I have wasted so much time on people, places and things that meant me no good that I’m only focusing on what God is calling me to do; the things that reciprocate the love I give.
Beiing as Christian at all times requires us to change when it comes to our treatment of people. The world is scary and waiting too long is taking a chance at God ending our assignment before we get it right.
As I battle with my ability to change, I must say that it has been easier than I thought. I came to the realization that my mental space can’t handle nonsensical things. If it doesn’t effect my money, it’s not worth my energy. My radar for disigenuious people is at an all time high. I assess what is worth my time and what is not, and act accordingly.
When others recognize this change in us, those who are threatened will call us Fake Christians because of our past mistakes. How quickly they forget about their mistakes. When we begin to value the small things in life we let the petty things go, however. What we do will be all that matters.
Today is a New Day! Forget about what took place on yesterday. Forget about the argument, who did what, who failed you etc. Think about the opportunities to do amazing things today!!
God has placed in each of us a PURPOSE. In order for us to know what that purpose is, we must be of a clear mind and spirit in order to be able to hear Him. You must also be physically well in order to walk into that purpose and handle all of the challenges this call on your life will require.
