10 What If's That Will Revolutionize Your 2017: You Need Only Pick One By Cortney Donelson

There will be thousands of blog entries, devotions, articles, and social media posts today. People associate the beginning of a new year with the chance to gain clarity, change course, or even start over. I have compiled 10 questions to help guide your desire to transform or feel renewed. I encourage you to select ONE of the "What If" questions below and answer it. Journal about it. Focus on it for the next 30 days. Make one of these questions the one you wake up thinking about, praying about, and making decisions around for one entire month. If you are genuinely looking to change something about your life or yourself, I dare you...

• What if the past was a way to measure how far you've come?

• What if the present was free of distractions?

• What if your future was not viewed through the lens of fear?

• What if temptation was a fleeting annoyance rather than crippling chains around your thoughts and will?

• What if you lived your life as if God was larger in love and more powerfully equipped than what you could ever imagine?

• What if you woke each day praying bold prayers that only God could answer?

• What if your wildest dreams were not dreams at all, but the outcomes of smaller and seemingly easy choices that were made over time?

• What if you used the energy it requires to continue living the life you do not want to instead work toward the life you do want?

• What if you embraced humility with a ferocity that caused you to fully trust that God's plans are grander than your own?

• What if justice was the reconciliation of a relationship and not simply a punishment for a wrong as if that would make it all right?
