New Year- New Start!

I love the idea of a new year, a blank calendar, and a fresh start.  It's easy this time of year to think of all the "I wish I" statements.  "I wish I" had spent more time exercising.  "I wish I" cooked healthier meals for my family.  "I wish I" actually cooked meals for my family instead of eating quick on-the-go meals from fast food restaurants EVERY night of the week.  "I wish I" spent more time with my precious family and less time folding huge piles of laundry, working and stressing and stressing some more, checking Facebook--- constantly, scrolling through Pinterest and wondering why I can't be as creative and resourceful as THOSE people.   Anybody else with me here?  Well, that's why I love Philippians 3:13-14. I can put my flaws and failures behind me and press on to the path God has for me (and it's okay if my path looks differently than my friends or those unattainable people on Pinterest).  Our Heavenly Father loves us, forgives us, and gives us a brand new hope and a future.  He doesn't just give us a fresh start once a year on January 1, but every day of our lives.  For that I am truly thankful!!  Press on my sweet friends!
