what i need is a fresh start. not only in my relationship with God, but in the way i live my life. people say that change happens for a reason, that something positive can come out of unwanted change. with the start of the new year, i want to hold onto hope, hope that pulls me out and beyond my own view of the world. i want to see the good that is hidden behind the bitter things in life. i want to love life and the world around me, the way God loves it.

so a fresh start is what i need. yes, indeed.
