Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025!
It's a new year and a new opportunity to start over. (Yessss!!!!) As I reflect on 2024, I realized that I made so many mistakes. Of course I had good intentions but I did not successfully execute some of them because I was not very intentional.
The year started off with me being very optimistic... maybe overly optimistic. However, as time went by and life started happening, the optimism waned. It took me a while to figure out the reason I was not seeing the results I hoped for - yes you guessed it. I had a lot of wishes but they weren't goals. I had not planned or worked out any strategies for achievement. Also, I did not resist the feelings of laziness but resorted to procrastination.
But guess what? It's a brand new year and now that I know those reasons I can do something about it. So this year I am declaring that this is my year of intentionality. This is the year I thrive and not just survive. This time around instead of just writing down things that I want to achieve, I am going to make it a lifestyle change - intentional living. My focus verses for this year are Philippians 3:12-14 from the Message Bible. “I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I’ve got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us onward—to Jesus. I’m off and running, and I’m not turning back.”
That's it - Eye on the Goal! Laser focused. This is what living intentionally is all about - being deliberate and purposeful.
Will you join me in making this a year of living intentionally? If you will, please reply with these words. I am intentional! Looking forward to hearing from you as we make 2025 our best year ever.
Intentionally yours,
Debbie-Ann
