My goal for this year is to read the Bible chronologically. Going through the Bible, I see God is highlighting persistence throughout. As a result of experiencing this in my own life so strongly, I have changed the bio on my Instagram account to tell my own story of persistence. Persistence is the mark of a believer. As God works in me, I expect him to create a new level of persistence in me.

Your health goals may be long gone by now, but I encourage you not to give up on yourself. Maybe you should try again. The only way to get from point A to point B is through persistence, so I want to address this really sabotaging mindset of all or nothing. Life can not be all or nothing.

Living in an all-or-nothing mindset sets you up for shame. This is not how God wants you to live your life. The more connected we are to our creator, to our Heavenly Father, the more likely we are to know what's coming and what's going on instead of holding on to everything and letting go of it all. This is not a healthy habit you want in your life. This will create a habit of quitting in you, and you don't want that.

As I embrace this new level of persistence this year, new things will come my way. This is why the Lord gave me the word, Expectancy, for my word for 2023. Open up to the possibility of new opportunities by letting go of all-or-nothing patterns.

I'd love to know what your word of the year is. Let's connect on Instagram.
