New Year 2021

As 2020 comes to an end I see and hear a lot of people saying they can’t wait until 2020 is gone and 2021 is here. That is a hopeful perspective, but what happens when 2021 brings much of the same as the 2020? That is setting yourself up for potential disappointment and discouragement. The only thing that has the possibility for change is our mindset. This season of illness and social distancing is not magically ending at the stroke of midnight on New Years Day. As much as I had hoped and prayed that it would, reality is that we may have to hunker down a little while longer.

Through out my life in seasons of uncertainty and pain I have learned that there is so much hope in the Scriptures. I often turn to them when I am dealing with negative thoughts or feel discouraged. I would love to share some with you that may help you gain or keep a more positive perspective when this current storm we are all in seems relentless.

I would love to hear from you as well. What do you do to change your mindset when you are struggling?
