God Wants To Bring Newness Into Your 2019

Let go of the past and let God bring in the new.

God Wants To Bring Newness Into Your 2019
Isaiah 43:19 – "Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and the rivers, and the desert."

We are finally in 2019. I just want to encourage you, sons and daughters, to expect great things from God this year. The one thing about this year that stands out is newness. Expect God to bring newness into your lives.

In this year of newness, I want to talk about a few things you can bring into this year that will make newness your new normal. One thing to bring into this year is daily devotion to God's Word. Meditate on His Word day and night and stay attentive to His voice. If there are any distractions in your life, cut them out and move closer to Christ.

Also, try to incorporate fasting and prayer into your 2019. If you want this year to be about blooming, you must fast and pray. Not only does it bring you closer to God, but it also opens your eyes to see all that God is doing in your life. Often in hard seasons of life, we tend to leave God out and lose faith in the things that we cannot see. When you fast and pray, God opens you up to have hope in all that is to come.

Lastly, let go of the old. Whenever you enter a new year, God wants the old to pass away. The only way for that to happen is if we fully submit and surrender our past to God. Past sins should no longer be repeated. God can't bring in the new when we are living in the old.

So today, sons and daughters, focus on the God who wants to bring newness into your life. Learn to daily devote your life to Christ, incorporate fasting and prayer, and let go of all the old in your life. God wants to bring new marriages, opportunities, relationships, desires, and ministries into your life. Let go and let the new come in.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
