40: How to Make Goals When The New Year Seems To Bring More Confusion Than Clairty

More Than Enough

Hey there! It's Pamela and Mary from the More Than Enough podcast!

In this episode, we're tackling the challenge of setting goals and making plans in times when everything feels uncertain! January, with its fresh start, often brings a mix of hope and instability.

When faced with confusion and shaky ground, we've found a powerful practice: pausing to reflect on the last known truth we knew for sure. It's about asking ourselves. This process serves as an anchor, helping us navigate uncertainty by standing firm on the truths we've received.

This practice involves looking back at the last certainty, and the Lord's follow-up question, "Has anything changed?" This prevents impulsive decisions based on temporary confusion. It's a thoughtful way to discern between emotional turbulence and genuine shifts in direction. This approach can be applied to both small decisions and significant life choices.

Regular check-ins, whether quarterly or annually, ensure ongoing alignment with the path God has revealed, preventing unnecessary detours. Seeking guidance from mature believers further enriches this journey, providing valuable insights and clarity.

So, as we step into the new year, let's embrace the intentional process of navigating uncertainty, anchored in the truths we've received and guided by the wisdom of reflection and community.

Thanks for joining us for our first podcast of 2024!!!! And Happy New Year!
