It's NEVER too late!

Praise the Lord. New Day. New Week. New Month. New Year. Welcome 2012.

Today I enjoyed an amazing church service, some time with friends and family and a little lazy down time. I watched the 2007 movie, Waitress that I randomly caught with 45 minutes left; something I usually never do because who wants to watch the end of a movie you have never seen? Not this girl. But, for some reason I was intrigued and kept watching. And then, there it was. A scene when a elderly man, Old Joe, tenderly looked at his young pregnant friend Jenna who was just stuck in life and passed on some wisdom. Wisdom that leaped off the screen and right into my spirit!

Old Joe:  "I am sayin' my whole life I spent lost. The sign said go this way, I'd go the other way. Time after time after time I'd turn the wrong corner, make the wrong choice. Went the wrong way like a chicken without a head. Do you understand?"

Jenna: "You were a chicken without a head?"

Old Joe: "Jenna, listen to me please. I'm sayin' make the right choice. Start fresh. It's never too late. Start fresh.

Now, this spoke to me on so many levels and I just wanted to share it. No matter where you are in life, no matter if you are a new mom, a seasoned mom, a grandmother, a single woman, this quote can speak volumes and I needed it. It reminded me that I can't change my past but I can change my future. No matter what 2011 looked like, 2012 can be better.

I'm making changes. I'm claiming my fresh start. I'm tired of "going in circles", doing the same things, getting the same results. I'm walking in faith one day at a time. I am believing God and I'm moving forward. I don't know where you are right now emotionally, spiritually, or physically but God does. He sees your heart, He knows what you are going through and He is just waiting for you to make the right choice.

It's never too late. Start Fresh.
