LET'S DE-STRESS THIS NEW YEAR

  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, 
and the Word was God.
~ John 1:1

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Again, we stand at the threshold of a new beginning. . . New resolutions.  New stresses.

Stress survivors are among the first to admit that New Year's resolutions can create enormous stress.  Statistics reveal that 93% of all who make resolutions fail to achieve them.  Indeed, it's stressful when we fall short of our resolve. 

Let's de-stress this New Year and fortify our resolutions with wisdom from the Book of John. . .  
         
    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word
   was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him,
   and without Him nothing was made that was made."      (John 1:1-3)                                                                                                                          
What is a New Year, if not a new beginning with God?  

"All things" have their beginning with God, and "nothing" is ever successful without Him . . . not our prized possessions--monetary matters--lofty goals--loving relationships--good health--or any other essentials of a wonderful life.    

Because stress survivors believe that God is the source of all things new--and prosperous--and excellent, we anticipate many meaningful moments this year. We're pleased to believe that God's Word is the beginning of our de-stress.

That's why we resolve to greet this 2013 New Year with a peaceful approach, believing that every beginning of every existence in every area of our lives, begins with GOD. 


Peace I leave with you . . .

Great post Saundra Kay. As usual. This year, I will get healthier, go on a road trip, and most importantly connect with God all the day long.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
