The Year of the Snake (and shedding off all that doesn't serve you)
A year ago, when thinking about my upcoming 2025 new year’s resolutions, I focused on the 3 main areas of my life: My relationship with God My connection with my family My overall health This became three very specific resolutions: Read the bible from beginning to end and dedicate time to pray every morning and evening Initiate quality alone time with my husband and children Go to the gym on average 5 times a week and drink less The results? I didn’t finish reading the bible yet, but I made a VERY big dent in it. I was dedicated to listening to the bible on my long commute to the office, and for 279 out of 365 days, I listened and I learned. I prayed a lot... Actually way more than what I intended. Challenges came into my life that I couldn’t have predicted. My daily morning and evening prayer rituals couldn’t sustain the stress and indecision I was facing. Some days felt like a constant conversation with God (a very one sided cry for help, but a conversation nonetheless)....
