Summary

Can you even believe we've got just two weeks left in 2021?! As we gear up for the gift of a new year, we want to be intentional about finishing well and starting strong.

We're starting a new three-episode series for that exact purpose. For the next three weeks, we'll ask:

How can we end this year well and start the next one with strength?
What do we do if we’re overwhelmed and exhausted from the last two years?
How do we catch vision for what’s ahead?

In this episode specifically, Jess and Kennesha talk about counting the fruit of all that happened in 2021, and catching a vision for all that's to come in 2022. Come with us as we reflect with gratitude and look ahead with intention.

Dig in deeper with our Finish Well, Start Strong guide, found here! We made this brand new, FREE resource just for our podcast gals. We pray these resources (this series + the guide!) leave you feeling hopeful that you can finish 2021 well and start 2022 strong, because God is mighty in you and in the year ahead.

0:40.7	So I want to say that up front to say if you are like, I'm exhausted, I'm worn out,

0:52.0	You get to be here.
0:52.7	This is not the podcast episode for the girls who are
0:55.0	like, I have my vision board already created. I checked off all my goals for this year. This is for the
1:00.4	girl who's like, I'm a little defeated. I'm a little discouraged and I don't want to stay that way.
1:05.3	Yes. Sign me up. I love it. All right. So let me start with that. How did you start 2021? How did you feel coming into this year?
1:16.3	I mean, that's how I started 21. I mean, is that, am I making too light of it? I think that legitimately, you know, I'm sure that sentiment resonates with some of the girls out there.
1:32.0	Like coming out of 2020 into 21 and now 21 into 22, I think that I am hopeful.
1:41.6	Yeah.
1:42.3	But this year and last year were just really difficult years.
