I have ch...Thanks, Edie, for such a wonderful idea! I have chosen the word "Trust". I have had so many doubts about my writing. My husband keeps telling me I need to step out in faith. I know I just have to trust God that He knows the plans He has for me. Trust Him that the things I write are within His will. Trust the gift He has given me. Trust that I will do that which He would have me do. And I need to trust that I am where He has planted me...where I am supposed to be at this stage of my life. Thank you, again! I still have not figured out how to post here, but I will trust that that this will make it to you!

I have a tendency to focus on the negative - about myself, my writing, etc. The Lord brought to my mind Philippians 4:8, "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." God wants be to be light, and I can't be if I'm a negative person.

I offered up four different (but related) words in prayer, and in true Holy Spirit fashion, He picked a word I'd never thought of which encapsulates the four words I had considered. My word for this year is RESTORATION (of direction, identity, hope, and resources).David Brannockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04067516668257932536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-32351846993732796412015-01-02T09:12:13.474-05:002015-01-02T09:12:13.474-05:00Mine is STEPS.

J...I love your idea of picking a word for the year. Just last week, God highlighted a verse for me: "The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him." Lamentations 3:25, NKJV Of all places, it's in Lamentations. So I believe the word for me, if I had to pick on the spot, is "seek." I never want to stop seeking God. There are some major things I'm waiting for this year. But I don't want to focus on those things; I want to keep my focus on God and enjoy the journey with Him. He has taught me a lot over the past year, especially because I was willing to take things to Him and be still before Him. So, seek. Thank you for your post, and God bless you as you seek Him and His yoke. Can't wait to see what 2015 holds!Katy Kauffmanhttp://lighthousebiblestudies.com/katy-kauffman-blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-58880758440713791922015-01-01T12:29:44.429-05:002015-01-01T12:29:44.429-05:00Dear Edie, I went to bed last night thanking the L...Dear Edie, I went to bed last night thanking the Lord for YOU!

Trying to juggle deadlines and meet everyone else's expectations, while doing everything else I need to do, makes me feel like I'm always multi-tasking and unable to focus on any one project at a time. My husband just suggested taking a vacation in two weeks (which we haven't done in two years) and now I'm frantically trying to figure out how to incorporate that into my schedule. :) Thanks, Edie and Happy New Year!Andrea Merrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886398056031430593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-91083257460535991762014-12-31T15:48:39.830-05:002014-12-31T15:48:39.830-05:00Such a rich word, Edie.
