Title: Are You Ready for Something New?   Send to a Friend
Date: 02/01/2009    
 
Friends,

Welcome to another addition of Women of Wisdom's (W.O.W) e-letter! W.O.W's mission is to encourage you to live the divine purpose for your life! Expect to see a W.O.W. e-letter monthly and be sure to pass them on to your friends.

Another year gone by, another year ahead.  Everyone has made their New Year's resolutions.  So how are you doing on your resolutions so far?  Depending on your resolutions, you are either going great guns or you may already be burned out.  The outcome depends on whether you made room for something new in your life.

For example, I am determined to clean out my closet this year.  Believe it or not, despite the size of my closet, and despite the fact that I 'never have anything to wear'; my closet is stuffed full of clothes and shoes.  What is even worse, I cleaned out this very same closet two years ago and it is a complete shambles again!  My motives for cleaning out my closet are fairly transparent...I want to buy more clothes to stuff in it!  However, I am determined not to buy anything until a) I lose 15 pounds and b) I clean out my closet.  Needless to say, the local retailers shouldn't expect to see me anytime soon.

This brings me to a very important point - quite often we cannot receive the new things in our lives because we have not made space for them.  I believe many times God has new adventures for us to discover and new paths to take us on but we are stuck because we haven't made room in our lives for His plan.   We have lost that child-like wonder that exists when we clean out the clutter in our lives and open ourselves up to all God has for us.   There is a passage of scripture that expresses this beautifully.  It says, "Forget about what's happened, don't keep going over old history. Be alert, be present.  I'm about to do something brand-new.  It's bursting out!  Don't you see it?"  (Isaiah 43:19 The Message)

If you are still working on your New Year's resolutions, add one more...let go of the old so that you can embrace the new.  Let your prayer be "God, I want all that you have for me. Help me to discern your leading and help me to clear the clutter from my life so that I can make room for the new thing You are about to do."

God has an expansion plan for each of us. So ask yourself, 'Am I ready for something new'?

Enjoy the journey!


Be Blessed!

Mary
