Begin The New Year Without Regrets

Begin-The-New-Year-Without-RegretsWe only have a few days left in 2015. I like to take a look back and evaluate my year. Where did I struggle, did I grow in my relationship with the Lord??

I want to begin the New Year without regrets. There are some things I need to let go of, I don’t want to drag all my regrets from last year into the New Year.

I want to repent, I want to forgive, and I want to move on.

Philippians 3:12-14 from The Message says, “I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.”

Let’s begin the new year striving for more of Jesus!

If you’re reading this and you think you might have too much sin in your past let me remind you…..Christ died for our sins and he offers His grace freely to those who believe.

I have been praying about leading a 4 week Bible study on Hope starting in January. I would have a private Facebook group for us to encourage each other.

Would you be interested?? Let me know!!

  3. I’d live to be a part of your devotional study. Everyone could use a bit of HOPE to start the new year off right.

  21. I would love to study about hope! I just stumbled upon your website yesterday and it has really encouraged me. That you love Jesus but really like to look nice has given me hope that it’s not wrong. Thank you!!!

  25. I’m interested in your Bible study on Hope. I really enjoy your blog and the variety you show with your outfits, as well as the fact they are chic yet appropriate.

  34. I’d like to know about the Bible study. That’s a great way to start the new year! Thanks for the inspiration and style advice you provide us all year! It’s much appreciated!

  35. I think your blog is wonderful especially for younger women, I have to ask, do you ever feel guilty about all this emphasis on clothing and fashion? How do you keep it in perspective? I am not criticizing because I have a ministry to encourage women to wear color and fashion that is right for them. I am a Christian speaker and Bible study leader. I believe as Christians we should be excellent in everything. I think it sends the wrong message when we wear revealing clothing or look just plain sloppy like the Lord doesn’t take wonderful care of His daughters. Anyway, just wondering as we contemplate making His priorities OURS this new year.

  161. Considering how long I had it scroll down to send a “please do an online bible study – reply” ….seems that all you have left to do is agree!!!! Pope Francis has called for 2016 to be a year of Mercy, but I believe mercy and hope go hand in hand.

    Reply

  162. What a great idea! I would totally be interested in your bible study on HOPE. We can all use that for the upcoming year!

  164. Looks like you’ve got quite a bible study group going on here 😉!! Yes I would also be interested. I love your topic for today – starting the new year with no regrets. For quite a while I have been trying to start each day with that very thought in mind. We never know how many days we have, and for me, especially a year ago, several of my dear high school classmates passed away, and now 3 of my family members. A year ago I took a long, deep, hard look at my own life and decided to make some changes – what was I “waiting” for – now was the time. Looking back on that year of change, I am so grateful for how far I have come, and the changes for the better, I have made. God has stood right by me every step, I would not be where I am right now, except through Him! I am looking forward with much anticipation to the new year ahead!!

  176. I think it’s unfortunate that the only way to participate in things is to be on face book. I know so many people that waste so much time on Facebook or get involved in drama that my husband and I have chose to not join. 😕

    1. I would love to do the bible study with you on hope. We need this so much in today’s world. I work retail hours so I never get to participate in bible study groups because we can never have set schedules. They change every week. So this would be idea to be a part of a this so that we could share together and learn together. Thank you for sharing your faith.

  224. Your words today speak louder to me than you will ever know. The new year will undoubtably bring me heartache and pain as I enter the turbulent storm we all know called divorce. I know in my heart he is bringing me to it but that he will also be at the end of the tunnel waiting for me. A bible study would be wonderful and I would look forward to fashion updates with inspirational thoughts from the bible.
