New Job, New Thing!

I will be starting a new job in about a week or so, and the thought of it is exciting with new possibilities. However, leaving the old job feels strange to me. I am comfortable on the job since I have been there for quite some time, and the thought of the unfamiliar brings about feelings of anxiety and reservation.

We all go through this several times in our lives; the fact that change occurs, and we want to hold on to the familiar, what we are used to. Change is inevitable, and we need to embrace it, because who knows what great plan God has in store for our lives. We do know God has something great for each of us. We just have to believe and know it.

I thank God for this new job; I thank God for this blessing; I thank God for just being God! I thank God for doing a new thing in my life!

                 See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? 

                             I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.  (Isiah 43:19)

                                           

Ash Wednsday!

Many celebrated Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras all over the world partying; indulging in exotic drinks, rich food and crazy fun. But what's really important is the next day, Ash Wednsday, the first day of Lent. Lent is the 40 days before Easter ( not including Sundays), which is a time of spiritual reflection on what Jesus prepared for and did for us. Fasting, repenting, mourning and praying are practiced more during this time period than at other times of the year.

Let us prepare over the next 40 days for Jesus!       

                                                       He Deserves It!

Take It to the Lord in Prayer

Lord, grant me the serenity to change the things that I can; to accept the things that I can't, and the wisdom to know the difference.  Amen
