Y'all we are wrapping up 2024 and it feels surreal, doesn't it? Before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve and the world pushes us into goal-setting, I want to offer you a moment of rest and reflection—space to pause and really see the progress, the growth, and the beauty that God has been weaving through your story this year.

Join me as we explore how rest, reflection, refreshing your spirit, and readiness can lay the foundation for a year filled with joy and purpose. I share my personal journey of learning to rest amid the chaos of motherhood and the powerful lessons I’ve gained through reflection on past challenges. Together, we’ll uncover how to refresh our spirits by aligning with God’s promises and how to approach readiness by setting intentional, faith-filled goals.

• Rest: We’ll discuss why rest isn’t a luxury but a necessity for spiritual and emotional health. Learn practical ways to create space for rest in your daily life, even amidst a busy schedule.

• Reflection: Looking back isn’t about dwelling on the past; it’s about learning and growing. I’ll guide you through a reflective practice to uncover lessons from the previous year and find gratitude even in tough seasons.

• Refreshing: Renew your spirit by focusing on God’s truths. Discover how to release burdens and refresh your mindset, creating room for new opportunities and blessings.

• Readiness: Being prepared is about more than setting goals; it’s about aligning your plans with God’s purpose for your life. I’ll share strategies for setting intentions that keep you anchored in faith, ready to embrace what lies ahead.

If you’re ready to go deeper and make 2025 your most intentional year yet, I invite you to join us in the Joyful Life Workshop⁠⁠. You’ll find all the details linked in the show notes.
