A new year has officially begun, y’all. I started mine sipping coffee under the gorgeous afghan I crocheted last year. It was the perfect addition to the chilly first morning of 2025.
I wish I could tell you that I didn’t waste any time or energy last year thinking about things that trouble me, things over which I have no control, but that would be 100 percent false. I did waste time and energy doing exactly that, and as long as I am in this mortal body, I will do more of that this year, too; it’s only human. However, I did my best not to dwell too long on those things, and I’ll do the same in 2025. After all, Isaiah 26:3 doesn’t say, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, ‘whose mind is stayed on things he can’t control.’” It says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, ‘whose mind is stayed on thee.’”
When life deals us things we don’t understand and can’t control, our focus should be on God who knows all things and is sovereign. With that being said, my goals for this year are: 1) Draw closer to God; 2) Study his Word more; 3) Show love to others more; and 4) Love myself more. A blessed evening to you all, dear friends. I hope your new year is filled with love, joy unspeakable and perfect peace.
