I spent my NYE in church. But that's only because, like you, I'm trying to work on personal discipline, in different aspects of my life. And visiting God’s house more often is one of those things I plan to do in 2023.

I've never been one to bother with new year resolutions. Abeg. Wahala too much. This year, like other years, I'm just taking one day at a time; climbing back on the wagon whenever I fall off. God will take me exactly where I need to be, as He always has.

Happy New Year, my love.

Wahala too much for this life. I think my favorite thing that I have heard from people this year, is that we all trusting our God(s) to take the wheel and drive.

It's like everyone is tired of trying to do it on their own, so they are letting go and letting God.

That level of peace is beautiful to see.

Aren't we just treading similar paths, lol.

I cruised into the new year, binging on a C-drama while the fireworks went off around me. And like you, it's not like I have an issue with God or anything. In fact, I have so much assurance and certainty from Him that beautiful things are going to happen this year.

Hence my theme for the year is: My Set Time.

As for resolutions, I ditched that years ago. Now, I set goals for different areas of my life (spiritual, health, career, social, etc) and outline ways to achieve them. While I may not be able to achieve all of them, I've found for the most part that I am successful in some. This gives me confidence and the courage to do better.

I am also excited at what this year would unfold. I pray God marvelously exceeds our expectations.

Let's keep our fingers crossed, shall we?

XOXO

I totally feel you on this. It can be exhausting creating resolutions only to fall short on them. It's easier to do it in bits, that way it's easier to measure growth and feel content.
