Today is the third day of this new year. We start fresh.

2024 is in the books. I’m sure it held a mix of joys and trials for you like it did for me. We made mistakes but also had some wins.

One of my favorite verses is 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “…anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

Part of that new life beginning is letting go of what’s in the past. The Apostle Paul, who wrote the verse above also wrote, “…I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.”

Let’s press on together into the new year!
