This is the year I commit to finish.
Not perfectly. Not rushed. But faithfully.
After choosing to live intentionally in 2021, embracing resilience in 2022, and surviving seasons that tried to scatter my focus, I knew that 2023 had to look different.

This is the year I will finish… not everything, but what He asked of me.
