A New Begining

Everyone wants a new beginning, a second chance, a brand new start, a clean slate. But why do many of us want to make changes to what we already have? Simple, we are not satisfied with what we have or have done. Some want even more and others just want to do it differently.

The Bible compare us with sheep and it is pretty much how we are. Sheep are followers. They go by what they feel or see. They see there is greener pasture on the other side and they just move. They follow others and "go with the flow". We as humans are pretty much that way. We mainly go with the flow of things. We go with what makes this world. We want because someone has, because it is much better than what we have, because why not have it mentality.

The problem is that we all have plenty of opportunities to start new, a second chance. Some of us have more than a second chance. We might be in our fifth or tenth time around. Bottom line, it is very hard to learn from our mistakes. It is easier said than done when it comes to ; "We need to learn from our mistakes". But for most sometimes it takes us more than one time failing to get it, to learn.

After many failings in my life, I have found a hard truth. It takes courage to start over and it takes a complete surrender to ourselves and to a higher power than ourselves. Once I have surrender to my Creator, I have learned a new way of living. One that many are skeptical about it. It is often painted as denying reality or living in a dream world.

Trust me, this is not my second chance. I have started a few times back also. They were all for various and different reasons. A few years back I had to start from a place I would had never imagine. The lowest place anyone can think of, or even lower than that. A new life not because I wanted to make a change but because everything changed around me leaving me in a place where I had to stay there for a while to assimilate what was going on. Then getting up and begin the new journey barely on my feet.

It has paid off some. Not exactly what I would have wanted but I am getting there. I am not where I was a few years back. This time I have God on my side and I am more than joyful that He is. This time I am not alone. I have the best on my side. The One that is giving me so much even though I am just so little.

Today It has been a year since one of God's works came to my life. A year later, I still have no clue why or with what purpose. All I know is that it has been a difficult yet beautiful ride. Happy Anniversary to my New Life one more time!
