Rather than make New Year's resolutions many of us allow God to speak a word, or words,that He wants us to focus on in the New Year. This will be my 7th year of allowing Him to choose a word for me. At the beginning of each new year I find it kinda difficult to let go of my old word, but especially my word for 2017, MORE. I do believe that God revealed MORE of Himself to me in 2017 than ever before.....but could that be because I listened more?!?
Sometimes it take a few weeks for me to focus in on what He's speaking to me and I had to narrow it down between 3 that kept showing up but finally I KNEW that He was speaking the word DWELL to me for 2018.
D
Desire to please ONLY God, not others
W
Wonder and Awe at His blessings
E
Excited to see Him work in my life
L
Let go of things that I have no control over and especially let go of things that I do.....
bitterness, resentment, etc.
L
Love, laugh and live life to the fullest!
This verse of scripture seems to sum up exactly what He's asking me to do as I write my blog and pray for wisdom and discernment and sing that song that He places on my heart when I get a bit stressed.....
and to just be thankful!
If you have a focus word for this year, I'd love for you to share it with me in the comments.
Prayers for a happy and blessed and safe 2018 to each of you, sweet Friends!
