Travel Provision for the New Year

As We Cross Over, Check What You’re Carrying

It is the 27th of December.

Some people are still laughing, travelling, and enjoying the festive season.

Some are resting quietly.

Some are tired, grieving, or simply trying to survive the noise.

Wherever you are — you are welcome here.

As the year begins to loosen its grip, many people start to feel the pull of what’s next. Not resolutions yet. Just questions. Just thoughts. Just that quiet voice asking, “What now?”

Before the calendar turns, I want to talk about Travel Provision.

Travel provision is not about rushing into the New Year with pressure or performance. It is about what you are carrying as you cross over.

Because you don’t enter a new year empty-handed.

You enter it with:

what you learned

what hurt you

what strengthened you

what you survived

what you are still healing from

Some of you are crossing over full of gratitude.

Some of you are crossing over with unanswered prayers.

Both are valid travellers.

As you move toward the New Year, don’t ask yourself to be perfect. Ask yourself to be prepared.

Prepared to:

move at your own pace

rest without guilt

grow without comparison

travel without explaining yourself

You don’t need to carry everything into the New Year.

But you do need to carry what sustains you.

Carry wisdom, not regret.

Carry faith, even if it’s small.

Carry discipline, not pressure.

Carry courage, even if your hands shake.

If your tomb is next to the road, then stopping was never the plan. But neither was running without provision. You are allowed to walk. You are allowed to pause. You are allowed to arrive differently.

So as we usher in the New Year — gently, honestly, intentionally — check your bag.

Not everything belongs in the next chapter.

But you do.

Travel well.

The journey continues
