new beginnings

  • January 2

    Zig Ziglar was not born great. He stumbled, started late, started poorly — and then he started again. That made all the difference. So often we wait for the perfect moment, the perfect words, the perfect readiness. But the Lord can work with motion. He struggles to steer a parked car. Today, consider what you have been putting off, and take the first small step. Come sit a while and discover why beginning imperfectly may be the bravest thing you do.

    There is a quiet lie that whispers to us as we age — that the season for dreaming has passed. But C.S. Lewis, a man who lost his mother young, survived the trenches of war, and found unexpected love in his late fifties, reminds us that beginning again is always possible. To set a goal is an act of faith. To dream a new dream is an act of hope. Come sit a while and discover why the power to start anew never expires.

  • — The Lamp Within —

    C.S. Lewis was not a man who had life handed to him easily. He lost his mother as a child, was wounded in war, and spent years wrestling with doubt before finding faith in his thirties. Yet he kept beginning again — writing Narnia at fifty, finding unexpected love in his late fifties, and offering us words that still echo today. This New Year, let his testimony remind you that the season for dreaming never truly ends. Come sit a while and discover why.
