As we begin a new year, I’ve been hearing more and more people approaching 2022 with cautious apprehension…myself included.

If we are being honest, it feels like the last two years left us deflated.

2020 was supposed to be the fresh start of a new decade.  20/20 vision.  Boundless possibilities.  But just a few months into the year, a global pandemic literally stopped the world and all its plans in its tracks.

And 2021 was not any easier.

So how can I make the best of 2022 when I don’t know what this year holds?  

While I can’t control a global pandemic, which political party is in power, or the slow driver in front of me, there are some things that I can control.

My spending, my attitude, my choices, or what I put into my mind and body are some things that I can clearly control.

If you are heading into 2022 with a little bit of fear and trembling like I am, I want to encourage you to let God take care of what you can’t control, and you do your part for what you can control.  

If what you have done before has not worked, then this is the year to do it differently.  

If that means you have to invest in yourself to make it happen, then make the investment. 

If you need accountability, then find a group to help you stay on track.

If you need prayer support, let your tribe know how they can pray for you.

My hope is that a year from now, no matter what happened in 2022, you can be proud of what you have accomplished.
