Fresh Starts.

Don't you just love getting to look at a piece of paper that is simply waiting to be filled with new ideas, simply waiting to be made into a great story or a meaningful poem? I sure do! (Unless of course it's waiting for me to do my Algebra 2 homework.;)
Either way, there's just something about beginnings. Whether it's the simple excitement of starting something new, or the endless possiblities of what is going to happen. I mean, think about it. When a baby is born, everyone rushes to the hospital to invite the little one into the world, to congratulate the parents, and to offer any help they can on raising up the little child. It's so exciting because the baby's life is new, it's un-damaged.. it's pure.
The most exciting thing, to me, about fresh starts is that we have the opportunity to have those any second of the day. Whether or not situations are different, we have the choice to handle them differently. God is so loving and gracious and merciful that at any time when we mess up, when we do something we are ashamed of and need forgiveness, He is always right there to offer it.
I don't know why, but this has just been somethin on my heart, so I thought it would be a nice first post.
Kind of ironic, because this is the second blog I've had, and it is definitely exciting to be able to just fill it with all sorts of fun things. :)
2 Corinthians 5:17
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, all things have become new!
