Beginning a Brand New Year

2016 Has just begun! 

Today I would like to talk about how to start our New Year and some things to focus on this 2016.

1) Leave the past behind. It's a brand NEW year! Things that happened in 2015 stay there.

2) Get closer to God in this New Year.  Each year is filled with plenty of opportunities to get closer to Him (Some Ideas and tips at the bottom.) 

3) Begin a New cycle. Remember, things don't always turn out the way they did before. Do something different this year, try something new. Find something that inspires you and pursue it! 

***
You can make your own list of expectations, hopes, dreams, and things that you want to accomplish this New Year. But don't forget to add God to your plans!

Now, I said that I would write some helpful tips and ideas about how to get closer to God but I just want to put something out there before I begin, no blog, or book, or speaker, person, or anyone can give you exact ideas to get closer to God and do it for you, no, you must do this yourself this is a decision you make. 

Prayer. 

Prayer is a very powerful tool which God has given us. It is our way to directly speak to him. It's okay if you feel like nobody is listening, but trust me, He listens to your every prayer. Though He may not answer fast sometimes, be patient, he will give you an answer eventually. 

Read The Bible.

Reading the Scriptures may empower you and give you hope to wait for the Lord for he IS coming soon! In the Bible you will learn many things to help you better understand what is going on. Ask the Lord for direction, to help you understand the Scriptures and give you a clear picture of what they mean.

Thanks for Reading!

Like Shampoo and Conditioner

Something that's really been hitting me recently is the necessity we have to pray and read the Bible everyday. Soon after we become new Christians we have this longing feeling to find out more. Surely there's more to this, isn't there? The answer to that question is yes, there is so much more. The thing is, to have a personal relationship with Jesus, you need to get to know him just as you would with any other person. Prayer and Bible reading go together like shampoo and conditioner. You can't have one without having the other. What happens if you only put shampoo on your hair? It cleans it, but it leaves it feeling dry and brittle. And if you only put conditioner on your hair, it leaves it feeling soft and smooth but it isn't truly clean.

I can speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes things happen and the only thing you can do is pray, but even so you still wish you could do more and it breaks your heart that you can’t. In one particular occasion, not too long ago actually, I was praying for someone but felt this terrible uneasiness about the situation I was praying for. After a while, decided to open my Bible and look for verses that speak about peace, because only God and His Word could bring me the peace I needed in that moment. Interestingly enough, I stumbled across a verse in Philippians that reads, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Philippians 4:6 That's when it hit me, through this verse, G...
