Summary
If you do nothing else this year, consider working on this--letting God love you. Three things to keep in mind as you do that:
1. Take the time.
It takes time to get to know God and let him enter more deeply into your life. Time and again, Jesus "went away to pray" and we need to do likewise.
2. Screen your thoughts.
What are some of your habits of thinking or talking to yourself and how might these get in the way of your relationship with God? Screen your thoughts and influences!
3. Let go of fear.
Many of us are afraid of being still in the presence of God. it requires a level of openness and vulnerability that might make you uncomfortable. Consider how this might apply to you and how you can let go of that fear that is holding you back.
At the end of today's show, Danielle answers a question from "Anna" who is going through a stressful time in her marriage and seeking support.

| 0:00.0 | Girlfriends, episode number 403, the only New Year resolution you need to make in 2024. |
| 0:06.5 | Hello and welcome to girlfriends. I'm Danielle Bean. I'm a wife and a mom, and I'm on a mission to help you. |
| 0:12.9 | Know your worth is a woman so you can find peace, balance, and joy and family living. This week, |
| 0:17.5 | I'm going to be sharing the one and only New Year resolution you need to make in |
| 0:21.6 | 2024. Can't wait to start this important conversation. Let's get going. |
| 0:32.3 | Hey, girlfriend, happy New Year. So glad you are here with me today. I hope your holiday season was great, is great. |
| 0:41.2 | I mean, by the time this publishes, some of you might still be celebrating, but many are going to be getting back to work, back to school, back to ordinary time. |
| 0:50.1 | I don't know about you, but I kind of enjoy getting back to ordinary time after a holiday season. |
| 0:55.3 | You know, the church is so wise. Our mother church is so wise and she cares for us so well and giving us times of feasting, times of fasting, ordinary time and times of great feasts and celebrations. |
| 1:06.7 | I think we need all of it. We need the rhythm of all of it. And so for many of us, it feels really nice, |
| 1:12.5 | although I still have trees up in the house and they will be for a while yet. It feels nice, though, |
| 1:17.6 | to kind of clean out a little bit, get back to routines, get back to regular schedules. Gosh, |

| 1:34.4 | to think about what our goals are for the new year. Last week, we played a rerun of a previous |
| 1:40.8 | episode in which I shared ideas for things to give up in the new year. And I hope that |
| 1:44.8 | gave you some food for thought for things that you might want to set as goals in 2024. But I'm |
| 1:50.6 | going to be sharing with you one resolution that I think everyone needs to make. And in fact, |
| 1:54.7 | the only one that you need to make this year. But before I get into that this week's topic, |
| 1:59.4 | I just want to do a little bit of housekeeping here. |
| 2:01.9 | I just wanted to mention many of you, I'm sure, have noticed that we now have commercials here on the Girlfriend's Podcast. |
| 2:08.4 | And that is a result of the fact that I'm at a point in my work life now where if I'm going to continue to be putting professional time and energy into this project, the Girlfriend's |
