The days have come and gone. The parties, dinners, family, celebrations, candles, fireworks, shows, and parades have all come and gone. And now this road stretches before you. Days of new.
Behind you are hopes, plans, pains, hurts, toils, work, happiness and sadness. And what lies before you is new.
What will you do with these new days ahead? There will be trouble, but there will also be victory. There will be hurt, but there will also be happiness. The difference between this year and last will be what we seek in the days ahead.
Let what has passed pass. Let us step together into something new and vibrant. It won’t be without pain or struggle, but everything great faced those things. And the days of your past only prepare you for the days ahead.
Now, you are ready to walk.
Now, you are ready to learn.
Now, you are ready to stand.
Let those days we dreamed for be the ones we step into. Let’s walk together and make this year filled with stories of what we achieved. When the hourglass of this coming year is spent, let us look at every step and day with thankfulness anew.
You were built for this. You can do it. You’re not alone. This year is new. And so are you.
