A new year might bring on many thoughts of renewing ourselves in some way, maybe in our outlook on life, health, spirituality or relationships. It’s a good time to reflect on what we’d like to change and improve. But it doesn’t mean we have to take on the responsibility of making drastic changes all at once.

Small changes over time are what bring results. In considering this, we can use the beginning of the year as a time of reflection on how we would like to renew ourselves as we move forward. Many blessings in the new year.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Romans 12:2
