The world is full of pathways and the choices are numberless. There are some that seem attractive and desirable but eventually lead to darkness and despair. Other pathways can draw us into a comfortable existence but then our progress stops. There are the tempting choices that appeal to our physical desires that can bring personal hardships, destroying families and individuals. All is not lost. He who loves us most is there to light our path through the darkness. He can be our personal guide as we seek to find peace in this troubled world. Fear not, for His pathways are straight and His light an eternal beacon of hope. He offers a peace that will surpass all understanding. No matter how desperate, lost, alone or afraid you may feel, Our Savior Jesus Christ is there to help. All you need to do is ask.

A New Path a New Day


January often brings reflection. We ponder our experiences, rejoicing in the happy moments and reliving over and over the tearful ones.  Sometimes we question our rational. “Why on earth did I do that?”  “What in the world was I thinking?”  “How could I let that happen?” Why is it we keep reliving these less than stellar moments?  Over and over scenes pass through our mind...
There are likely more theories on this than letters on this page.  I believe it is the pathways we follow, that create the options to choose who we become. When we look back and relive those moments it is with a different mindset.  We are like a bystander watching a movie.  We have different thoughts and emotions as we reconsider our actions.  We have the power to ask; “What might I have done differently? What have I learned? How would I face the same situation?”
We can’t change the past or wash away our heartache and the tears.  However, we can rise above yesteryear, set our sights on new horizons and move forward. Every morning brings a new day... A new path may be on the horizon. Consider your options carefully, for they determine who you become.
