Hello ladies, I hope you had a very merry Christmas and are enjoying the beginning of a happy New Year. A new year is a time of new beginnings and new resolutions.
New Years resolutions, if you are like me, are promises that are soon broken. You know the routine: Lose weight, stop yelling at the kids, try to be on time more often, and the list goes on. I was never very good at keeping resolutions, so I finally gave up making them.
I do like new beginnings though. A time to start over, wipe the slate clean and get a fresh start. I
especially like the new beginning that I was given ten years ago this January twenty- ninth - the day that God saved me. He gave me not only a new beginning , but a new heart and a new life. He wiped the slate clean and promised that it would never be dirty again. Thank the Lord that my slate staying clean, does not depend on my goodness, but on the blood of Jesus. You see, that blood washed away all my sins past, present, and future the minute that I believed and trusted in what Jesus did for me on the cross. I do not claim to understand how or why He did it. All I know is that God's word in Luke 1: 37 says through God all things are possible.
God gave me many other promises that day also, too numerous to count. He promised to love me and never to leave me or forsake me. He also promised that I was in Him, and that I was in His Father's hand, and that no man could pluck me out. Unlike me, he never breaks his promises.
My prayer for all of you is that you have a place and a time where God gave you a new beginning. I
know that He wants to and will when the time is right. He also wants to save our children and our spouses. I pray that you all trust God for the possibilities, for He is able.
Joyfully yours,
Kate Fuqua
