In this episode of the Doing What Matters podcast, I share a heartfelt New Year's prayer for the year 2024. We talk about the challenging holiday season and the heavy emotions I carried into the new year. We dive deep into our aspirations for the new year, focusing on living each day to the fullest for God's glory while staying open to the unexpected. It's important to be present and notice the people around us, whether at home, work, or in the extraordinary moments we encounter. We discuss my commitment to find stillness each day and to carry out my work with purpose and impact, ultimately striving to grow and live each day as a practice for an extraordinary 2024. Throughout the episode, I share with you my thought process behind each stanza of the prayer, along with my struggles and aspirations. As you listen, consider how you can also embrace intentionality and purpose in your everyday life.
