A FRESH START

--> I believe this was not the first time I've heard of this preaching... but it really struck my heart... This was the CCF pastor's preaching last Sunday... last Sunday was December 3oth... the last Sunday of December as well as of 2007...


In order to have a fresh START...

Stop making excuses (Prov. 28:13)
"Nobody can ruin your life without your permission"

Take an inventory of your life (Gal 3:4)
Ask yourself:
- what have I learned?
- what are my assets?
- who can help me?
"God uses your personal experiences, your vocational and educational experiences, your spiritual experiences, and your painful experiences to shape you."

Act in faith (Matt 9)
"In order to start acting in your faith, stop feeling sorry for yourself."

Refocus (Prov 4:23)
"... your life is shaped by your thoughts."
Start refocusing by confessing (being open to God), then by being focused (meditating on God's word)

Trust (Zech 4:6)
"... Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts."

You need God for you to have a fresh start.

it was a simple new year's message yet it was so powerful... I thank God for that great sweet reminder... He knows just what is right for me...

It's 2008...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! ^_^
