This is your New Beginning

Sunday, February 15th, 2026

It has been a goal of mine for the past five years to start a devotion blog. Today marks the day that I finally took this step. My goal behind my blog is to connect to God's word, and to make you feel loved and connected through my words of encouragement.

Bible Verse

Isaiah 43:18-19

"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing!"

Connection

You may have regrets. You may have burdens. You may have made a mistake. You may have hoped for things to turn out differently. No matter what has happened, God has made a path for you. You may not be able to see or understand the path, but God perfectly aligns every moment of your day for a reason. God knows what happened yesterday, today, and even tomorrow. Some moments in your life may be so hard, but God made those moments happen for a reason. Even in the heart of the hurt, God knows what He's doing. He is with you always, and He will get you through every tough moment of your life. He listens to you 24/7.

When the hurt is unbearable, I know it's hard. In the moment, God listened to me. He listened to me over, and over, and over. He got me through the pain and the hurt. It's because I knew He was there listening to me, every time I prayed.

Devotion

Good morning! Today is a brand-new day! Take a deep breath in . . . hold . . . and let your breath out. Mindful breathing helps you bring your mind and body into balance. You will notice as I write my devotions, I will add some breathing in. Mindfulness helps me in the moment, and helps me regulate and focus on my day, so I can see more clearly. As you breathe out, think of a moment that fills your heart with joy. Hold on to this thought, as you go through your day. This moment will help you keep going every day. God placed this moment in your life for a reason.
