New Beginnings

As I laid in bed this morning (shortly after midnight, after we rang in the new year), and I was praying (as I do nightly), my prayer was full of thanksgiving to God about the start of a brand new year. The ability to start over and leave old things behind. Having a clear, open path of opportunity to do and try things I haven't in the past. Being able to look forward and know that God's plan is bigger than my own.

I realized, that this grace is what He gives us EVERY day. Not just at the beginning of a new year, but
                                   EVERY.
                                   SINGLE,
                                   DAY.

Why should I be praying this prayer just today? I shouldn't. This must become my daily prayer of thanks and realization that God provides just what I need each and every day, not just at the start of a new year.

So, bring on 2015. But, also bring on every day with the same mentality as if it were a new year.
