Abundance All Year
Merry New Year!
Are you ready for 2025? I'm always ready to move past the awkward in-between that is December's final week. Even though that month is my favorite, I've never been fond of the hanging time after Christmas while a new year awaits up ahead.
And now January is in full swing, and this is what it looks like outside my kitchen window. Beautiful and crisp and invigorating and cozy. All words I love.
What's up for me during this winter season? I'm working on three writing projects--devotional and fiction--and considering a fourth. And there's family and real estate that also keep me busy. My oldest is in his final high school semester and got accepted into all five colleges where he applied. And my daughter is on the brink of getting her driver's license in a few short weeks. Big feelings in this mama's heart these days! I love this season of parenting.
I hope your heart is filled with heaven's abundance: hope, joy, peace, love, grace, and faith. May Winter 2025 usher in a year of growth seeking and soul delighting for you and those you love.
(My latest collaborations are available now--Mornings with Jesus 2025 and Walking with Jesus: Devotions for Lent & Easter 2025.)
