New Year’s Goals and Intentions
When the clock struck midnight on New Year’s Eve, it marked more than just the start of a new year—it symbolized a fresh start and an opportunity to embrace life with renewed intention. Like many others, I’ve realized that life can easily slip into monotony or get lost in the busyness of our daily routines. This year, I’m determined to break free from that cycle and live with purpose.
I’ll admit, procrastination has long been my Achilles’ heel. But not anymore. I’m taking control by setting clear goals and holding myself accountable. To make this plan stick, I’m sharing my top 10 goals for the year with you, dear readers. Perhaps you’ll find some inspiration for your own journey—or even join me as an accountability partner.
1. Backpack Through Europe
As a history enthusiast and a lover of travel, exploring Europe has been a long-standing dream of mine. From the cobblestone streets of Prague to the romantic canals of Venice, the adventure of meeting new people and immersing myself in different cultures excites me endlessly.
2. Run in a Race
I never imagined myself as a runner, but this March, I’ll be tackling the Shamrock 8K in Virginia Beach. With a couple of supportive friends by my side, I’m determined to cross that finish line—even if it’s not pretty!
3. Dive Deeper into the Bible
While I’ve always appreciated devotionals for their guidance, this year I aim to sit quietly with Scripture and truly meditate on God’s word. A great companion for this journey is a quality Bible cover that helps keep everything organized during my study sessions. The Bible Verse Letter Print Storage Bag is perfect for carrying my Bible securely while reflecting on His teachings.
4. Rekindle My Passion for Photography
Photography is my creative outlet, and this year I plan to devote more time to capturing God’s creation through my lens. From putting together a portfolio to exploring new techniques, I want to honor this gift He’s given me.
5. Tap Into My Inner Dancing Queen
Growing up, tap dancing was a huge part of my life. This year, I’m dusting off those tap shoes and joining a local class to relive those cherished moments while staying active.
6. Support a Charity That Makes a Difference
God calls us to care for others, and this year I’ll be more intentional about giving—whether it’s my time or resources—to those in need. There are so many ways to make an impact if we open our hearts and hands to serve others selflessly.
7. Help Someone Else Achieve Their Dream
There’s something beautiful about seeing someone else succeed and knowing you played a part in it. This year, I want to be the kind of friend who encourages and supports others in their pursuits, however big or small they may be.
8. Become a Better Steward of My Resources
Whether it’s my finances, time, or relationships, I want to manage these blessings wisely. Staying organized can make all the difference, and the Large Faux Leather Bible Cover is a practical tool that doubles as a symbol of stewardship by protecting God’s word as I study and grow spiritually.
9. Sing from the Heart
One of the most personal goals on my list is to sing without fear or self-consciousness. God has blessed me with a love for music and worship, and this year, I want to use my voice to bring Him joy without hesitation.
10. Write My First Novel or Screenplay
Creative writing has always been close to my heart. This year, I plan to pour my thoughts into words and craft a story that resonates with others—whether it’s in the form of a novel, screenplay, or even short stories shared with friends and family.
Staying Inspired
To stay motivated throughout the year, I believe it’s important to surround myself with tools that reflect my journey. For those of us who love journaling or carrying our faith-filled materials wherever we go, options like the Floral Bible Cover with Handle and the Butterfly Bible Cover Case are perfect companions for staying organized and inspired on this path of intentional living.
This list may seem ambitious at first glance, but each goal is rooted in faith and purpose. Let’s not ignore God as we embark on new adventures this year—let Him guide us in our plans and celebrate alongside us in our victories. May your New Year’s declaration be filled with hope, action, and His abundant blessings!
