So, in celebration of the New Year, I stayed up till 9:30pm. I know, I know, I was celebrating a little too hard this year. I tried! I really did! A dear lady in our church even baby sat for us so we could go out and enjoy a delicious dinner. I still went to bed early. I suppose this is just a part of who I am. I don't drink coffee any more so it goes with the non-coffee territory. Along with periods of reserved silence, and zero coffee creamer in my house!
Well, with the new year comes all sorts of possible things to happen!
I am not one for New Years Resolutions in the classic sense. More so, I consider my life direction and spend some time in prayer. This year though, I decided to do one. It does have a twist! I picked a word.
A word that would define my year.
My prayer life would be focused on it and I would be praying specifically for that quality.
My actual life would be focused on it... how can I daily make this a part of my life?
My journal would reflect it.
Quotes, songs, and bible verses are put into my journal.
Curious what the word is? Well
DRUM-ROLL PLEASE!
The word is GLORIFY!
My goal this year is that I bring glory to my father in heaven. I want my actions to reflect that to those around me.
I had such trouble narrowing it done from all the delightful words out there! I found this one most encompassed what the Lord is teaching me right now. Sometimes as I spend time with the Lord I almost hear him speak
"Focus on glorifying me with your life and the other things will fall into place."
I will never be the most perfect wife and mother. You can make a laundry list of all my faults and then some. I struggle and struggle.... BUT, I can bring glory to him by turning my focus to his joy and light!
I am excited as I embark on the journey of this year. I know it will bring victory and defeat. The last two years have taught me more about God' refining process than ANY other time in my life.
I just keep on thinking.... He's not done with me yet! I am bought with a price and he LOVES little old me :)
