Funny how so many people look forward to the New Year and want to leave the old one behind. At the same time there is a cynicism that anything will ever change, in the world and if they are honest in themselves. It has been said that cynicism is a type of protection and defence against disappointment. How is it for you? Will you approach this New Year with hope and expectation or will the past hurts and pain hold you back? One of the reasons I hold on to my faith is the promise of new beginnings, that there is a plan for our lives and a path to follow. What if there is a hope of breaking free and finding a life of fullness in 2012? I’m not just talking about the old resolutions, you know, losing weight, getting more exercise or being nicer to the irritating person at work(well at least trying to). This is the deep stuff most of us avoid, deciding to explore our spirituality, why we are here and what’s life all about. Its looking at who we really are, to the core and taking God seriously. Stuff we may have heard when a kid at school or through a friend but dismissed because we were too busy or it seemed wet or far fetched. Well if you are like me maybe you have got to the point in life when you are thinking what have I got to lose. If that’s you and you want to know more contact us and we can give some tips of what to read or watch to make a first step. If you are worried you will be committed to something or organisation, don’t worry there will be no follow up call or any guilt trip. I am just keen to give anyone who wants the chance to really hear and understand what Jesus said and did. Check it out and let me know if you want me to post stuff on this site, Twitter or Facebook.
New Year: more of the old or something new?
