Here’s to the New…

There’s something exciting, enticing, invigorating about new things. Whether it be a car, house, book, shoes, boyfriend, job, nail polish, heart, anything. New things just have a way of making us happy…..eventually. A lot of times new means disposing of the old, getting rid of the used, taking out the trash. And that’s the scary part, relinquishing the things we once held dear to grab onto the things we now need and desire. And no matter how old you are or what the situation is , letting go will always be hard. But quess what, as soon as you release and give up the old, you are automatically in the position to receive and accept the new, the improved, the better (literally, try it). I’m not saying that letting go is easy, but I am saying that there is a joy and freedom that happens.  Let me tell you from personal experience, freedom is a lot more enjoyable than bondage; new is a lot better than old; and a great sacrifice always produces a greater glory.

So let go, in order to take hold. The new and improved is waiting, and the old is ready be released to move on…….
