about those resolutions...

Did you know there is now an official "quitters day" to designate when most people will have given up on their New Years resolutions? Based on scientific research, it seems that by the 2nd Friday in January all of our good intentions will have gone by the wayside.
That's probably why I have never thrilled to the idea of New Year's resolutions--I hate failure! But I love learning and growing, and to that end, I'd like to encourage you to consider how God wants to broaden your horizons in 2025! Here are a few links to resources that can guide you in spiritual intentionality! (all but one are FREE): 
GOD'S WORD FOR YOUR YEAR: Every year I ask God for a word to guide me, and this has been such a meaningful experience. For a step-by-step guide, read the blog I wrote on it in 2008! Click here.

LET YOUR LIFE SPEAK: A more expanded approach to getting a word for the year, this  devotional guide will help you reflect on how God has been working over the past year, as well as discover a spiritual focus for 2025. For a printable version, click here.

A BIBLE READING PLAN YOU CAN HANDLE! This chronological survey of God's story will take you through the entire Bible in a year. You won't read every chapter, but you will become familiar with eleven eras and how it all fits together by reading portions I've selected for five days a week. Click here.

I'LL BE BACK! Once we've all forgotten our resolutions and are wishing for some of that New Years Day optimism, I will be back with a free ten-day devotional series to help jump-start your connection with God.
