New Starts

By Javier Mendoza

“The first step towards getting somewhere is todecide you’re not going to stay where you are.- JP Morgan

Spring is a time in which things are made new. I am sitting in New York right now looking at the trees starting to bud again. The temperature is creeping up to a new warmer average each week. In the park a couple of days ago there were many more people reemerging from their hibernation and starting a new routine or restarting old habits and it was really fun to watch.

In life, New Starts come in waves or cycles like the seasons. Many employees are coming back into the office and starting a new pace of work. Some have left their job for a new opportunity altogether and others are moving into a new house, a new city, or even a new unknown. Taking a step toward something new can be a little scary because you have never been there before.

At times a new start may be more like the beginning of a new chapter in your favorite book. You are in the same story and it is somehow connected to what came before it but it feels all new.

There are new plot twists we were not expecting and there is a foundation being laid that will be revealed in full in a later chapter but now is the time that we start anticipating what is to come.

I know many friends, family, as well as people around the world, are all experiencing some form of a New Start this spring and we are excited to see what this chapter holds for each of us.

For Connect Global spring is a time in which we start refining plans for our summer mission trips and projects. We are planning and expanding new opportunities for our aquaponic systems and other projects. Now that much of the winter rain is gone we can focus on pouring concrete floors for women raising their families in less than hospitable living quarters. You have heard us talk about how a new start with a concrete floor can change so much for a family and we love being a part of this type of life-changing effort.

If you are stepping into a new start for yourself or your family I want you to know that we here at Connect Global are praying with you. New Starts are inherently filled with unknowns and questions but I am praying that your steps are illuminated and that you will have peace as you traverse the path towards what is next.

Life is better with friends and we are here for you. We launched a new way to connect and we can't wait to hear from you, whether you just want to say hi, you have a prayer request, or you want to share your New Start with us, we would love to hear from you!
