New year, new you. There’s nothing new about that phrase. In fact…it’s getting kind of old. I had a new thought about it though as I took a walk this morning, this first day of 2026. I was reminded to focus on the new me. The new me who, upon believing in the work Jesus accomplished by his death on my behalf, was recreated in rightousness and holiness.
…put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness…
So, in case you’ve landed in failure and frustration at all other attempts at being a new you in a new year, I encourage you to redefine the meaning of that tired New Year’s phrase. Let’s “resolve” to keep our mind’s on our spirit, at who we’ve been made, and let the change we’re all striving for be change not from the outside, but from the inside out.
…if anyone is in Christ, he IS a new creation…
Good Friday…aren’t you thankful for what we commemorate this day? I’m forever grateful to God for His sacrifice…for taking the wrath due me on that cross those many years ago.
Encouraging others is one of the things I care about more than nearly anything. I desperately want people, you people, to know your value…that you rock people’s worlds with your hospitality, your art, your listening ear, your ability to make people laugh.
Today marks day one, year three of blogging here at My Word Study. Sometimes we have to explore and experiment to not only discover our passions but also to eliminate things as possibilities.
Did you know that today, July 2nd, marks the exact middle of the year? Yes, as of last night we’ve lived 182 days of 2014 and beginning tomorrow, God willing, we’ll live the remaining 182. But today? Well, today we’re right in the middle.
It’s September 24th and I have officially been a blogger for one year. As defined by the Urban Dictionary this would make today my blogiversary. Anniversaries make great days for looking back so I’m doing some reflecting.
