@@jennifermcfarland3800 LISTEN is such a good word, especially moving from the word GRACE! I’m betting there will be some “obedience” called forward…😉 Looking forward to see how God moves you this year!
Thank you for the tip on the sugar fast book. I have a hard time when it comes to sugar. I have ordered that book. Yay! I pray it helps me to control my sugar intake and bring me closer to God. Thanks again Rhonda, and my word this year is “intentional” because I need to make more of an effort to do what I need to. Which will in turn make me spend more time with my Father in heaven. I am excited to get started with this new year!
Intentional is an excellent word! It will overflow into ALL areas for sure! How do you think you will map out your journey/study/application of it? I am doing a little study on the You Version app ( and will try to do so as many as they offer) and writing out the daily verse from the study because it pertains to my specific word...Contentment. Just something I'm trying out...
First I want to say I am new to your channel and love your positivity. I have been thinking about the new year. I have had an overall good year. But i have been letting my health get back to the old me and that's not good. So i plan to continue to read the bible everyday which i started this year and feel faith growing. I have made 5 personal goals and 5 faith goals. Plus me and my husband will be celebrating 25 years of marriage in 2025 and are planning a trip to Wyoming next fall. I want to feel better in my skin and be able to enjoy time with my husband without feeling tired and sore...lots of things to look forward to. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year, Angela! Welcome, welcome! I am so happy you're here and what an accomplishment....25 years of marriage, CONGRATULATIONS! I have always dreamed of going out West...maybe one day! Do you have a specific exercise/eating program you're going to follow? I am reading the 40 day sugar fast and it's been helpful in just the 3 days of it...of course today, I am feeling a little "detoxy" from the past month of bingeing lol Also, I'm doing some YT videos for my daily workouts, walking and mainly moving my body to help reduce the inflammation...as we get older, our needs change and that's hard for me somedays to accept...However...we do what we need to do, right!
Oh girl, you are so inspiring and encouraging! Even though I said “ouch” a lot. I. Am. So. Undisciplined!! I don’t usually choose a word. My word is usually a scripture or similar. Toward the end of December God speaks to me. The year Covid hit, the Lord impressed upon me multiple times “Be still and know that I am God”. I thought oh no, what’s going to happen? Them March rolled in bringing Covid with it. I don’t have one yet. Enjoy the rest of December.
@@vickip54 Maybe “ouch” is your word 🤣 It has taken me YEARS to become disciplined and I still find I have areas to grow in…we are a never ending work in progress 🥰
Ha! Would you believe I was just sitting here at the table dumping my brain in a notebook. Of course you popped up😊 I love your 75 challenge. My word was looking like "consistent" You gave me a little push to wake up earlier so I can PRIORITIZE my faith plans and health plans. 4:30am it is!😊 Thank you so much Rhonda. I look forward to growing with you in the new year🙏👟🥦
Ohh! That’s awesome ~ 4:30 is so beautiful and welcoming 😉 I just realized this Sugar Fast book is actually a daily devotional to walk you through the 40 days, so that’ll be fun to add into my challenge. Consistent is a great word and requires action to keep it going, good choice! I’m excited to grow along side you too this year!! ❤
Thanks for the encouragement Rhonda. Sugar Fast is a good book, although I gave my copy away before finishing it. 😮 definitely want to begin some type of challenge in 2025 along with renewing my mind with Christian non-fiction and/or missionary biographies.
@@adamsc327 well, I just realized this is actually a 40 day devotional that brings you through a 40 day sugar fast and not just a “book” so I have added it to my TBR to read along my 75 Days of Discipline…I think it’s gonna be helpful and has a daily scripture I can write out 🤓 I also saw there are 2 other books she has written in similar fashion. What sort of challenge are you thinking?
I think my “word” for the year is going to be “hush” I read something on an IG page that I knew was for me. God is trying to teach me to be silent in a frustrating season. The more I’m silent and take my cares to Him and no one else, the more He’ll move. So I’m putting that to the “test” to see what God does.
I keep hearing the word “LISTEN” still sitting with it. Last years word was GRACE.

I’m definitely trying to hurry up and finish my Bible reading plan so I start right on the 1st of January fresh and shiny and sparkly hahahha
@@heathersheartco I think I will complete whatever is left on Sunday…executive decision made 🤣

@ definitely need a healthy challenge that eliminates junk but for long term and incorporates Biblical principles to stop the stress eat cycle.
And unfortunately I’m the queen of starting and stopping things so maybe a challenge on discipline would be good.
I’m the same way with praying before I eat.
We can do better, I just know it 🙏🏼🥰
