Happy New Year!  What are your hopes and dreams for 2025?  If you're like most people, you're grateful to wipe the slate clean and get a fresh start.  You are probably eager to make some much-needed changes in your life, and you may have even set some goals for the new year already.  Or...you might have decided to throw in the towel on "Quitters Day" like the vast majority of the population has.  No matter where you are in the goal-setting/achieving process, I hope you'll join me as I shed light on my own personal journey into 2025.  My prayer is that some of practical things that have worked for me will work for you as well.  Above all, I pray we will all lean into the Lord and delight in His Word as we commit this upcoming year to Him, the Author and Perfecter of our Faith.
