Hopes & Freedom

It's the last day of 2021, I have been reflecting back on the year and realized my strategy of having Hopes for the year instead of Resolutions was a great success. I have always found resolutions stressful and if not accomplished there is a feeling of failure. Hopes on the other hand weren't stressful. Some of the ones I made weren't even ones that I had full control over making happen. Over half of them were checked off by the end of the year and some are close to being checked off.  I don't feel like a failure for the ones not check off, instead I find it learning opportunities to see if there was anything different I could have done to make them happen. If so I can work on making changes otherwise I can let it go or add it to my list for the new year.

For 2022 I have made two changes though, first I am being a little more specific in my hopes and second I am making even more. It's a list to seek God for direction on and the empowerment to see them through. 

I pray this coming year you join me in having a year filled with Hope & Freedom!
