It is the first day of a new week, a day and time we set aside to bring our hearts before God in worship and praise. It is a new day. It is time to stand up and be the church.
This is how every Sunday worship service starts at my church. I love the thought that Sunday is a new start. We also say a prayer of confession each Sunday. That gives me the feeling that I am starting with a new, clean slate as I go into the new week.
I've heard that we shouldn't wait to start something until every duck is in its row, until you have this, or you have that. Just start. My one word for the year has been progress. I try to do at least one thing each day that gives me the feeling of progress, even if it's something as simple as putting my shoes away or getting the paper read. I was so bad about waiting for a special day on the calendar to start a goal but I have found that starting anything, even something as small as folding laundry, gives me the energy to start the big things.
So on this Sunday as I start a new week with my clean slate, I feel ready to start whatever comes my way.
