I have found myself clinging to some promises of God this year such as...

that I am a new creation in Christ (2 Cor. 5:17). I come back to this verse so much, but right now I keep coming back to it. I've been sharing my story a lot lately in detail with a student in our ministry for a paper she is writing. Sharing it reminds me so much about how Jesus has changed me and how I am no longer that person but a new creation. I remind myself of this truth a lot. It's inspiring and motivational and praiseworthy for me. - Palf
