Happy New Year

“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.”  Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV

From Out of the Belly Podcast, Happy New Year! Thanks be to God; we made it friends. It’s a new year, many didn’t make it, but the Good Lord saw fit to bless us with this New Year Day. A day we’ve never seen. Ain’t He Good?

Here are a few reminders as you get this New Year Started:

• Don’t forget to eat your 9 blackeye peas.
• Prepare to take down the Christmas tree and put away the decorations so the seasonal police won’t get you.
• Look at all of you have accomplished this past year. You are amazing!!
• Create, even when you don’t think anyone cares.
• Read something every day.
• Smile and say, “I am fearfully and wonderfully made by the hand of God, He made me just right!”
• Remind yourself that God is working everything out for your good.
• Say what you are thankful for, out loud every day.
• Give yourself a big hug.
• Drop off dead weight, stuff you can’t use and don’t need. This is to include both people and things. It’s not welcome in your new season.
• Trust God with your who, what, when, why, and how.
• Keep the faith and believe in God’s Holy Word.
• Stay in touch with friends and family, there is no excuses with all this technology we got. Take the time to say Hello.
• Take care of yourself: body, mind, and soul
• Its been un-ten years, let it go and get on with your life.

• Let your light shine everywhere you go.
• Let love rule in your heart.
• Show kindness
• Take everything to God in prayer.
• We are peculiar people, pay attention to your surroundings, Stay Woke.

Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should be looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
