Just one Word

At one time or another, usually around this time of year, we start looking at the new year and decide that it's time to change some things in our life. 

And we’re serious about it.

Very serious!

We make lists or even step-by-step plans. We share it with others. We make an earnest commitment to change and truly believe we will be victorious.

There's a name for this, you know ~ New Year’s Resolution. 

Many of us start out fully committed, and right around late February, possibly early March, resolutions are forgotten. So instead, many simply select one word to focus on for the entire year. Not a phrase, not even a statement ~ just one word. I've done this now for the past 5 years. 

But how does one get your one word?

I start by thinking, praying, and searching the Scriptures. Reflecting on one attribute I want to cultivate more of in my life. 

Your One Word can be anything. 

It might be an area you feel God is calling you to grow in or a fruit of the spirit you’d like to improve upon. It could even be a character trait you admire in others or an attribute of Jesus you’d to develop.

Choosing just one word can help provide clarity and give more focus throughout the year.
