I first want to start this New Year off by saying “ Thank You” to those who have reached out through my blog, email, phone and mail for your support and encouragement these past few months since going public with my “Thoughts to Ponder”, I can not say Thank you enough.

With that thought, I want to enter into this New Year by asking you, are you someone who brings in the New Year with one or more “New Years Resolution?”

As we are about to embark upon the year 2025, I believe it will come with many thoughts, much imagination and lots of uncertainties…maybe right now, your curious as to what the New Year will “bring you”.

New Year’s is one of those times when friends and families come together and celebrate, or as some would say; ring in the New.

However, I want to offer you some “Thoughts to Ponder”, some tips to guide you as you push forward into 2025.

First, I want to encourage you to begin your day with Prayer, Scripture teaches us to give of our first fruits. When you wake in the morning and recognize the air you breathe, this is your first fruit of life you have been given. Give thanks, seek His face first.

Secondly, use Clarity for your Guidance, Your thoughts and words act as a compass, providing you direction amongst life’s uncertainties. You know not what the day will hold.

Third, Be Intentional in your Growth, It becomes a commitment to your personal development, shaping your actions and all of your decisions.

Fourth, don’t be afraid to Unlock Your Potential, Your belief and words reveal your inner strengths and empowers you to achieve your goals.

Fifth, Go Beyond Your Resolutions, don’t think of it as a quick fix, you are committing to a year-long journey of discovering and learning yourself to direct you into your destination.

I personally am looking forward to what God has in store for us this next year and look forward to hearing what Jesus doing in your life.

I encourage your feedback, let me know what the Lords doing in your life or what you’re believing for 2025. You can email me at oakim38@yahoo.com or join my blog at https://thoughts-to-ponder.

Blessings my Friends “2025”
