New Year’s is a fun celebration commemorating the ending of one year and the beginning of another. But there’s really not much difference between December 31st and January 1st. You don’t need a new year to make positive changes in your life, you can do that anytime! And what better time than right now? If you want to see real, positive change in your life, it’s going to take hard work and a reliance on Jesus Christ. Change is always difficult, but it is so worth it! Let’s do our best to always be learning and growing closer and closer to Jesus Christ every day.

- 2 Corinthians 5:17 – New creation
