Although I am aware that we can start fresh at any moment of any day, there is just something about the New Year that is good for my soul. I love taking the time to think back on the previous year and reflect on everything God has done and what He graciously allowed (or didn’t allow). And you know what else? I’ve actually rested these last two weeks of December. I still had to work—tending clients and maintaining transactions and organizing upcoming listings—but I only did what was absolutely necessary because a) this year wore me out and b) you’ll read below how I’m slowly learning to prioritize rest.
