Summary: New beginnings. They can be hard. Scary. Intimidating. A new beginning means we have to shed the past. Past trauma, past fear, past hurts, past guilt, past non-sense. Our old self, old sins, old habits, old low self-esteem. This is our time for renewal. But in order for God to renew us, we must be able to shed our old inhibiting thoughts, shame, guilt nasty habits and dysfunctional relationships. This is easier said than done, though right? How do we start? Where do we begin? We talk about this and so much more as we focus on this week's verse: Isaiah 43:18-19 Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.
