We must start somewhere...

When it comes to life, we all have a starting point. Whether it is birth, a renewed life with God, a transition in schooling, or even a new life within a relationship, it all has a beginning. There are many steps in starting something new:

1. Have you thought it through? The only time we don't have an option in starting something new is in birth. An odd thought I know, but it's true. When I decided to start my life with Christ, it wasn't because everyone I knew was doing it. I chose a life with Him because He showed me the way. Trust me, I thought about it a lot!

2. Get the right attitude. There is no way that you can start something new or change yourself if you are thinking and acting the same way. When you are single, you are free to be single, and life that life. You can't act the same way or do the same things you did when you were single after you enter a relationship.

3. Consider your friends. Time and time again, we learn that not everyone in our life is meant to be there for a lifetime. This is what we call seasonal friends. Just as the seasons come and go, so do some friends. The hardest part of life is when you discover that someone you really connect with is only a seasonal friend. You must be strong and let go; they may be the thing that is holding you back from your blessing.

Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10:10

Staring new isn't always easy. There are people from your past, things from your past, that try and bring you back down to where you used to be. You can take this post in the carnal realm or in the spiritual realm, as long as you understand life will not be a walk in the park always. Not to say life sucks, but sometimes it takes work. We must find the things in life that make it worth living. In a new life, those things will be different that what they were before.

With that, I will leave you with one more thing: "Laugh as much as you breathe, love as long as you live"
