5 New Year’s Resolutions All Christian Women Should Make

The gift of a fresh start is a welcome one. Maybe this article finds you needing one right now. I have always loved the imagery of a new year being like a fresh snowfall. Imagine looking outside after a snowfall and seeing a fresh blanket of snow covering the ground. There isn't a footprint on it yet. That's what we have at the start of each calendar year.

I have also heard it said that the new year falls at an instructive time of year—for the northern hemisphere, at least. It falls during our winter. Winter is when nature slows down. If you have the urge to hibernate—embrace it! Winter is a natural invitation to turn inward and sit with our thoughts. We can embrace new intentions for a life-giving year ahead as we anticipate spring.

For anyone who knows me, it might come as a surprise that I am writing this article. While I am certainly intentional, a list of resolutions often overwhelms me. In our family, we are more inclined to pick a single word or short phrase to live into for the year. But in the spirit of making our footprints in the snow count, and as a result of my internal ruminating this winter in the wake of a hectic holiday season, I want to propose the following list of resolutions to consider. I reached out to other like-minded Christian women for their thoughts when writing as well so that we can all have a fruitful, faith-filled year!
