Happy New Year!

May 2022 be a year filled with intentional living.

As I sit on the edge of a brand new year, I always find it meaningful to reflect on the year that is coming to a close. Sometimes it’s been such a good year, I hate to see it end and other times, I find myself sprinting to midnight, anxious to turn the page on the calendar for a brand new start.

But, the older I get, the better I get at remembering the many blessings of the past year. Even in the worst of times, there have always been more blessings than I can count and certainly more than I deserve. I am also reminded that as a Christ follower, January 1st is simply symbolic. Grace gives me a chance for a brand new start every single day that I wake up and a chance to do life better than the day before.

While I’m not big on resolutions, I do like the idea of focusing on a single word for the year. In the past, I have used thankful, to remind me that I have so very much to be thankful for. I’ve also used abundance, to remind me that I always have so much more than I need. I’ve used trust, to remind me that God loves me and He always has a plan. Last year it was transform, to remind me to not be afraid of change and to push me to do my part in changing what I wasn’t happy with.

Every year I settle on a word and then I write it in places where I will see it. It reminds me to be intentional. In the end, living with intention is always my goal.  New Year’s Eve just serves as a reminder. Perhaps you needed reminding too.

Happy New Year!
