Even though we are four days into the new year, it is not too late to reflect on the past year and determine what adjustments are necessary to continue forward. I'm not necessarily talking about New Year's resolutions...but more of a mindset change.
The past is past is past is past. It's gone. There is nothing in the world anyone can say or do to go back and change anything that has already occurred. You can't take it back...you can't undo it. BUT, you can determine to learn from the past, leave the past IN the past, and start over with a new beginning.
For discussion:
1. Take a snapshot of your life in this exact moment. Are there things you would like to change?
2. How do you propose to make these changes?
3. Is there something that is keeping you mired in the past?
4. Are you willing to leave this in the past in order to start a New Beginning?

Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13 - 14
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. I Corinthians 5:17
A New Beginning has been given to us through Christ. It's not easy to leave our past in the past, but it is possible through Him. And, if we fall, He is right there to pick us back up so we can start over again...and again...and again...
