Did you know there is a “Why” behind it all, behind everything we do? There is, even if you are not aware of it. Today, we are going to discover our Why and why it is so crucial to achieving our goals. As we moved into 2025, last week we looked at the one goal that could change our lives forever. For me, it is a deeper relationship with God/Jesus/Holy Spirit. And although this is my “New Year’s Resolution,” […]
