HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!! Wow. Is it just me or has this year just flown by? Do you ever just get these feelings when you just know that things are going to be different. Maybe not, but I sure do. I just have this feeling that 2018 will be a year of change for me. I don't know what this year will hold, but I just have this feeling that it will be an interesting one.
I wanted to start this year out with a fashion post because it is one of my favorite things to blog, but to be honest I wore this look on Christmas Eve. Since Jereme and I always stay in and cuddle on New Years, I figured you would not want to see a post of my pajamas either. This look could go for either holiday.
I have a few goals this year that I thought I would share with you. I know every year, it is the same old thing. "Oh I 'm am getting in shape this year." or "I am losing weight." Blah. Whatever. You can have that goal if you want, but this year I have bigger aspirations.
1. I want to make it a priority to spend time with God every single morning and I encourage you to too. I feel so much better when I start my day with what is most important in this life, my relationship with God. When I don't spend time with God every day, I can always tell it. My quality of life suffers and I feel far away and disconnected. Everything is hard when I close myself off from God. My attitude and disposition are terrible and I feel terrible. It is just like a physical relationship. You have to spend quality time in order for it to be close and successful.
2. For my blog, I want to publish more frequently and more often. I also want to include more content about what I am learning about scripture and my relationship with the Lord. I want to get real vulnerable on here. Lay it all out there. I want to share more of what is going on in my life too, so that you can really get to know me.
3. I want to live free of fear. Whether it be something small like driving; (I rarely ever drive.) or something large, like a career move. I want to be free from fear.
4. I want to get back into ART. Oh how I have missed my passions. Art is my special God given gift and I am tired of wasting it. As you may already know, we are no longer doing Signs of Hope. We took our last orders on December first. You can read about our the family decision HERE. Although I will miss the business, a huge part of me is so happy to be able to have time to spend painting and drawing. I don't mean to sound ungrateful for the business, because I am far from it. I am just ready for the change. I have several personal projects that I cant wait to start, and I already have THREE commissions on on schedule for this month. I am so so thankful for those. Bring on the art.
Walking into 2018 like...
I just want to say thank you so much for stopping by my blog on the first day of your 2018 year. I feel so honored. What are your New Year plans? Jereme and I are going to make use of all the gift cards we got for Christmas, and we are having a gift card date today. I can't wait for what this year will bring. Until then. Hugs from me to you. Dream big this year, and don't let anyone bring you down or tell you that you can't accomplish your goals. You can! I believe in you!
Happy New Year again.
Love Always, Sarah
