Brand New Day

Every day is a fresh start. We try to live each day to the fullest and live according to God's way.
As Psalm 19:14 states: "May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my defender."

I start each day with a simple prayer for God's guidance in whatever comes my way. Some days I rely on Him and His patience, love & kindness shines through. Other days, I get frustrated, upset and impatient. I know I have failed Him and yet He does not leave me. Because of Jesus Christ, I come before Him and admit my failings. Through His grace and only by His grace, I am granted another second, another hour, another day to live for Him. There are no 3 strikes and you're out.
I am forever grateful for that. I am learning more and more each day what it means to follow Christ.

I’m waking up
The world is turning
The sun is shining again
I’m holding on
To things I shouldn’t
It’s time to let them go
I’ve been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn’t speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away

And I can hear You say
It’s a brand new day
The pain goes away
I’m headed for the door
And I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home
I’m going home
