New Year, Same Me.

 Welcome to 2026, my friends! I hope you all had a wonderfully safe time celebrating the new year, spending time with those you love. 

I used to be huge on resolutions - absolutely dead-set on them being something I could control, change, make happen... but it LITERALLY means that I was taking my own path, not trusting God to lead me where He needed me to be. And every year I would inevitably fail at what I thought I set my resolutions to be. It was miserable! Reading back through my journals, it was pretty hard to face year after year. 

Resolution. Resolute. Resolve. 

Can we really find a resolute answer to who we are? Can we resolve our problems, shortcomings, etc, overnight? in a year? turn it all around? Not a chance! Not alone. Trusting in the path the Spirit puts us on, taking steps in Faith, yes... and it can happen any day any time. And you know what? There's no failure when you follow what God lays out for you! 

Trust who you are. Trust what God's got for you. It's not easy sometimes, but I promise you, it takes such a weight off yourself to not have any pressure of changing who you are, what direction you're going... you just enjoy the celebration, trust the process, have a good time watching the ball drop, and wake up ready for January 1!
