What a year it has been right? We all started this year happily. With plans for summer, plans for school, plans for birthdays and everything. If we made 10 New Years resolution tips, we probably accomplished 3/4 of it. Well I’m  speaking for myself. Even though it was a weird year, it’s 365 days in a year and if you’re reading this, today is your 365th day of the year so hooray. Some may say it was a weird year. People lost their loved ones and people lost their jobs and but it is by the grace of God you are alive. Give thanks to God. 

Tomorrow, we step into the New Year.  It won’t be 2020 anymore but 2021. That puts a smile on my face. This year has opened my eyes to the fact that you never know what will happen tomorrow. Look at how covid just came from nowhere and it’s been months and it’s still going on. Every day we hear something new on the news about covid so you just know this world ain’t going back to normal anytime soon. Normal? Do you even remember what that is? Unusual is the new normal. 

Today’s blog is about a new beginning; a fresh new slate. Another shot at this. My first blog I spoke about the fact that due to covid, I got closer to God. My slate was wiped clean when I accepted God. Whatever I go through now, I just think of the fact that if I didn’t know God and believe everything happened for a reason, I don’t know how I’d have gone through it and came out stronger. Everything happens for a reason. And we are all going to enter 2021 with that mentality. 

Let’s dive into individuals that had a new fresh slate in the bible. Moses, after he killed someone and left Egypt, got another chance. God called him to deliver His people from Egypt. That’s his new slate. Paul, after persecuting the people who believe in God, got his second chance, his new slate. Jonah, after God sent him and he disobeyed and ended up inside the stomach of a whale got his second chance. Speaking of second chances, Jesus died for us so we can get a second chance. Second chances have been in the air since day one. Let’s breathe it in today. 

As we enter into this new year, there are a few things we need to try and leave in 2020. Worries, fears, negativity, complaining, low self-esteem, pain, anything that isn’t positive. This may be hard but it’s about giving it a chance. Some may say fake it till you make it. 2021 should be full of joy, peace, ambition, purpose, love and kindness. No matter what you are going through, God knows. God sees. God is with you. That’s the vibe you need to take into 2021. Follow your goals. Follow your heart. If you don’t try, you will never know. I read today that “Let God do the super and you do the natural”.

Prayer: Heavenly Father we thank you. God, we thank you for our lives. 2020 was a different year but we are still breathing today. God we are grateful for everything. God, in 2021 we pray for guidance, peace, blessings, grace. No weapon formed against us should prosper. Let us step into this year with faith and let your glory fill us. We bless your name. 

Testimony: 2020 I wanted to create a blog and you all encouraged and followed my journey. God bless you all. 2021, I pray God takes your higher and higher. May He speak through this blog and receive anyone He wants to reach.
