My Christ Year
I will be turning 33 in 2026, which is considered the Christ Year. It is believed that Jesus was 33 when He was crucified and resurrected. Because of this a lot of people tend to spend the 33rd year of life renewing their relationship with God and growing in faith.
I feel like ever since I could remember my resolution has been to grow in my relationship with God. I am not perfect, of course, and have struggled in my walk with Jesus. I have experienced personal trauma that has had me questioning God. But, working through Esther with mom this past year has helped me see that God can use anyone, and just because I don’t understand the “why”, I can trust in Him.
I can’t think of a better time for me to be coming into my Christ Year than now. I have been thinking and praying on what that will look like for me. I don’t know what the future holds, but here are a few intentions I am feeling called to:
Read the Bible cover to cover. This is something I have never done, but would really like to do and commit to in my Christ Year.
Spend more time out in nature. I really want to spend time away from screens and more time out in the world.
I am going to have difficult conversations that I have been avoiding for years, because I want to heal my relationships and make peace because I have to let go of the pain I’ve been holding onto.
I also would like to find a church to go to. This is something I just haven’t done yet. It’s really hard to find something that fits. I want to make more of an effort in trying to find a place where I fit.
I just want to find peace, strengthen my relationship with God and enjoy each day I’m given. I am looking forward to my Christ Year, and I hope that you will stay along for the journey.
