Gone with the old.

New year brings new beginnings. Out comes the new journals being filled with much hope, expectations and penning down the dreams of what is ahead. 

I've always wanted to start a blog. Creative. Fresh. Fun. Inspiring. Yes! Guilty as charged, I once had a blog in my younger days but it was neglected though it was named "alive" ironically. Newness is in the air. So, forgive me and allow me to start afresh this new year with this blank canvas, ready for new adventures and stories. 

I love the new because it holds such hope. Don't be fooled, I am not talking about living in denial. It is not hard to look around and see a world of hurt, sorrow, uncertainty and darkness. But, I still choose to hope.

"Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His Promise"  Hebrews 10:23

In a world full of darkness, it needs some light and we are that light. How? You may ask. By bringing joy, sharing a smile, being kind, encouraging whenever you can. This is another resolution I have for this year. What are some of yours? Whatever it may be, I pray this next year be the best you ever had. The past has gone and the new is ahead. Start hoping, embrace the new and enjoy the journey ahead!
