Starting something new is one of the hardest things to do. This is true with anything in life, whether it's a new church, a new band, a new business, or a new habit in your life.  First, you experience the initial challenge of breaking ground, of forging something from nothing, of essentially creating newness from the resources at hand.  Often times the resources are abundant, other times they are few or non-existent. 

We are starting a new service here at TLC (Trinity Life Center).  The advantages we have are resources: a building, instruments, a sound system, screens, people... amazing people, etc. We are doing all this because we know God has called us to aid in the building of His kingdom.  That's what it's all about for us, building the kingdom of God. 

Today ask yourself, what's something new that I need to start today that will aid me and others in building God's Kingdom.  Maybe it's the habit of telling your spouse you love them everyday; maybe it's a new workout regimen (you've been watching the biggest loser and know it's time to get your butt in gear); maybe it's a daily devotional or morning prayer walk; maybe it's taking a younger person or new Christian under your wing to mentor.  Whatever it is, make sure you ask yourself the right questions and take the necessary steps to implement it into your life.

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

What is something that's missing in my life?

What resources are in place already in my life that I can use to make an impact in the world?

What could enhance my life in order to better influence the people's lives I impact?

Am I being the best ME possible?

What's God asking of me?

What more could I do to enhance the kingdom of God?
