New Year, New Me….Nah, Just Kidding!

Isn’t that how the saying goes?
“New Year…..New Me”

To be honest, I don’t want a new me, mostly I’m quite happy with the me that I am. Sure, there’s always room for improvement, but actually, I have worked so hard on this me, I don’t want to have to start again with a new one!

I am pretty excited about 2022.
I sat down with God on Jan 1st and we had a good chat about this year and what it holds for me. God gave me some promises to hold on to and I know I’m going to need these as the year unfolds. I’m going to hang on to them when I lose sight of the big picture and all I can see is the fog right in front of me, which will inevitably come.

I choose to live a life of anticipation and excitement. To find joy in the ordinary and to appreciate all that has been given to me.
I choose to see life as an adventure, even when things don’t go to (my) plan, I will choose to see God in everything. To look for opportunities to see Him working in my life, and to be prepared for the unknown! I will embrace all He has for me, the good, bad, and possibly even the ugly, knowing He is in it all!

I feel as though this year will be the completion of the season I have been walking in. There’s still “stuff” to walk through and things to work out, but by the end of this year, I’m confident I will be walking in a new season! And that excites the pants off me!

I feel there’s going to be projects finished off and new projects birthed. There’s a sense of completion and a sense of new beginnings. There are promises to be fulfilled and opportunities for growth, deep, and wisdom. And I for one, am all for that!

And so I continue to put one foot in front of the other. One step, one milestone, one hurdle at a time, all the while staying close to the source of my joy, life, and light.

God has given me a plan for the first three months, which I’m excited about and then we’ll see what comes next. But for now, I will walk in obedience and leave the outcomes to God, the author, and perfecter of my life.

So, Happy New Year friends! Whether you’re finishing a season, in the middle of one, or anticipating a new one, I pray you seek God in all you do. xxx
