How Do You Set Goals for the New Year?

Knock knock. It’s me!

Have you ever been away from your home for so long, that you forgot the right key to open your front door, or what the passcode was to unlock the smart lock? Yes, that’s how I feel. I almost forgot how to log in to my blog.

Life has a way of making you forget to indulge in the activities you enjoy – the ones that bring you joy. Writing brings me joy and I almost forgot how much I needed this.

I’m not sure what the purpose of this blog post is, but what I do know is that I’ve missed writing and sharing on this platform.

It’s a new year and a new month! I’m sure most of you have goals and desires you want to see come to pass this year. But, before you go all in, remember to put all that you desire in the hands of God.

One thing I’ve learned about goal-setting is to always involve the hands of God. One of my favorite life verses, Proverbs 3:5-6 (see the footer of this blog) is a critical reminder of the need to seek God’s guidance when it comes to goal-setting.

While, yes, you should do all you can to see your goals become a reality, don’t neglect the God-factor. Don’t forget to pray for guidance. Don’t forget to pray for favor. Don’t forget to pray for grace. Don’t forget to pray for your Destiny Helpers. Don’t forget to pray for wisdom. Don’t forget to involve God in every aspect of your life.

I started writing this blog post, not knowing the direction it was headed, but I knew I needed to write.

I hope this short piece has been a timely reminder, to continue doing the things that bring you joy, even as you wait for the manifestation of your desires.

What’s one goal you have set for the new year?

Until next time…

xoxo
