Journey To Renewal

Be transformed by the
renewing of your mind

Begin the journey to renew your attitudes, actions and appearance!

"Direction Determines Destination"

The Direction You Take Determines Your Destination

At the end of every December, we stand at the crossroads of a new year as the old year passes and the new year awaits us.

As with any road crossing, you must make a decision which paths you will traverse. This is crucial because the direction you take will determine your destination. In all aspects of your life, you will be faced with a decision – which direction will you follow?

If you meander down your own paths, you will probably encounter pitfalls, dead-ends and even crashes! That's why the prophet Jeremiah told God's people to look for the ancient paths. The ancient paths are those followed by people who obeyed God. They are the paths of righteousness (Psalm 23:3). They are the paths illuminated by God (Psalm 119:105). They are paths of eternal life (Proverbs 12:28). The common denominator is that these paths are guided by God and lead to God.

Beloved, as you stand at the crossroads of your personal "new year", obey what God told Jeremiah. Always stay focused on God's way -- not your way. Always follow His directions as your roadmap -- rather than marching to your own drummer. Then you can walk confidently and prosperously because you'll be walking with God!! What a journey!!!
