Summary
The new year is just about upon us! But how are you prepping for it? How are you making sure you're growing in the ways God wants you to?
In this podcast, I invite you to think about the ways God may be asking you to reflect on the year you've had. I encourage you to have a pen and paper handy so you can jot down what comes up for you.
Why is this a difficult task? I discuss the 3 reasons people don't reflect, but then the way it's vitally important if we're going to be the people God wants us to become.
Don't go through a difficult season and NOT learn the lessons He wants you to. You'll just be doomed to repeat that same sad, painful situation.
But when you reflect effectively, it gives you hope, peace and faith that God is going to guide you in the next season as well.
When you go through this exercise you'll be able to know how you should focus for the new year. I encourage you to spend the time before the new year focusing on what He wants you to.
With that in mind, I'll be taking 3 weeks off from the podcast so I can focus and listen and plan for 2020. During this time I hope you'll prep yourself for the new year (feel free to relisten to podcasts you may have missed or wanted to listen to again!).
I'll speak with you in the New Year! Merry Christmas and God bless!

| 0:11.7 | Learn not only the practicals, but the heart behind what making love is all about. Delight your marriage. |
| 0:26.6 | All right. Welcome, welcome. Hi, welcome to the Delight Your Marriage podcast. |
| 0:35.8 | Thank you for joining me. My name is Bella Rose, and I would love to talk today about this year. I love this time of year. I'm looking out of my window in New York |
| 0:42.2 | City right now. We are so blessed with a beautiful view and I see the snow coming down and the |
| 0:51.5 | train is going by. I'm not sure if you heard it in the distance, but it's just, |
| 0:58.4 | it's so wonderful. Now, I'm not a big fan of the cold weather. That's not actually why I love |
| 1:04.7 | this time of year. And if I can admit something that I'm not sure if it's allowed for any Christian to admit, but |
| 1:12.4 | my favorite time of year, like this is, this is one of my favorite times of year, but it's not |
| 1:19.8 | because of Christmas, actually. It's because of New Year's. Because I really love the idea of something really big and important coming to a |
| 1:35.2 | close, a known clothes. |
| 1:37.0 | Everyone knows it's ending. |
| 1:39.2 | 2019 or if you're listening to the future, maybe 2023 or 2033 or wherever. |
| 1:48.0 | And then something brand new starting, a new chapter, a new opportunity to grow. |
| 1:56.5 | And it's not that every day is not a new opportunity it is, which I love that perspective too. |
| 2:02.6 | And I try to have that perspective. But something about the new year energizes everyone. And it's |
| 2:08.7 | like this communal energy of excitement to grow and change. And I love that. A lot of times people have tons of health goals in the new |
| 2:22.6 | year and they really are going to go keto or they're going to do paleo or they're going to go to |
| 2:30.4 | the gym every day or they're going to become a vegetarian or they're going to drop this weight |
| 2:35.3 | or there's all these things and hey I more power to you I think we need to love God with all of our |
| 2:42.0 | strength I think that includes loving God in the way that we take care of our body so I think that's |
| 2:47.6 | awesome get yourself healthy good But when it says that the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are unseen are eternal, a lot of that I think has to do with who we are in God. How we're loving him. |
