Does anyone else get whiplash from the sudden “Christmas cookies!” to “Let's cut out sugar!" thing that happens as we transition from December to January? I always feel like we were having so much fun until January had to come by and ruin everything.

Anyway, I rant about this every year (see several blog posts here and my Instagram highlights here), and then every year I remember that the gospel is really good news for the girl who is allergic to goals. It's also good news for the girl who loves goals. So, if you want:

• some good-natured ranting

• gospel perspective on goal setting

• a peek into some worship-related goals I have this year

• help to set your own worship-related goals

…I've created a 13-minute video that I hope you'll enjoy! Scroll down for a list + links to the resources I mention. And of course… (sort of) HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Resources mentioned:

• In Every Season Scripture Journals from Well-Watered Women

• Holy Land Illustrated Bible*

• Prayer journal and book Pray Confidently and Consistently by Val Woerner can be found here*
