New Begininngs

Its a reality in life that as people we have to pass through a valley. Its also a reality that seasons come and go.. direction changes and as hard as it sometimes we have to leave something to learn something and grow. There is no doubt in my mind that regardless of the choices you make, God will always use it as opportunity to open your eyes, open your heart and guide you to see things for what they really are! I love that life is a journey, that there are always twists and that when you least expect it God does something that leaves you totally and utterly breathless, what a great God he is!

In a recent thought i had, i came to the conclsion that in my life alot of the time the valley has been the mountain top. The valley has been where i could feel god like never before, the place that although everything around me was sinking and uncertain his hands, favour and word were still with him.. still strong... still making me smile. What an amazing realisation!

I love that as much as the past changes so does the future. Our past pain, nightmares and hurt can cause us to be unsettled and unhappy in the now. The future and the thought of it can bring tears of Joy, tears of Hope, smiles and happiness or it can bring anxiety, sadness panic and depression. Personally right now, God is challenging me about the way i live right this second because the more i chase him right now, the more passionate i am, the more i run towards him and the plans he has for me will determine how much in abundance i do this as i grow and get older in him.

If there is one thing i urge you to do from my experiences... dont let the past dictate your future. You are not who you were! You have a choice. The sun goes down and ends a day, if you choose it to be the next morning when day breaks can be fresh and new :) Life is exciting, but we have to make the decision to see it!
