new prescription

'whoever is a believer in Christ
is a new creation.
the old way of living has disappeared.
a new way of living has come into existence.
God has done all this.'

2corinthians 5:17,18a

This is my new prescription. I'm going to put it on one of my old medicine bottles and take it every day.

Now that I've lived 54 years, I'm really beginning to notice my behavioural patterns...how I deal with stress in particular...
My old way of doing stress...doesn't work that well really.
God tipped me on some new ways to handle stress just yesterday. It's freeing and humbling all at the same time, but if I really believe that in Christ I am a new creation and the old way of living has in actuality disappeared, and the new way of living has in actuality come into existence and that I don't have to 'do' this miracle myself b/c God has done all this...I'm free to accept this gift and run with it.
Wouldn't you call that tremendous- what a word- I think it's tremendous. I want my old ruts to overgrow with grass and take the new paths- leaping and bounding like the new creation God has made of me.
I love God's Word!

now to the day...
