Hello, 2018!

It's that time again...we bid adieu to one year, reflecting on all it held, and welcome in a new year, anticipating what it will be like.  It's one of my favorite times!

I love FRESH...Monday morning, the start of a new week, a new month, a new year. I love the idea of a fresh start. 

Regardless of what last year held, we can look toward this coming year with hope and expectation. We can choose how we enter into it and how we plan to navigate through it. 

This year, I quietly celebrated Deliberate Women's 5 year anniversary. It was bitter-sweet. 5 years ago on December 28th the first post went live on Deliberate Women. This year, however, I changed the name to She Heard to better reflect where the Lord is leading me individually. 

This coming year is full of hope. It's a blank canvas before me and I'm excited to launch in. How about you?

I'm not hosting any groups or offering any reading challenges this year in anticipation of a year of quietness and reflection. BUT...I'm listing our past challenges here to give you some options if you're still looking for a challenge for the New Year. They are:

A Deliberate Challenge: Focused prayer that will benefit you and others. 
Link to read about this is HERE. 

Bible in a Year Chronologically Challenge (including Facebook Group): The Facebook group for this is still open. Feel free to use it as an accountability tool. Link to read about this is HERE. 

​Hide Your Word Challenge (including Facebook Group): Scripture Memorization. Memorize 50 selections of Scripture over a year's time. The link to read about this is HERE. 

May 2018 be a year that draws you closer to the Lord!
