A New Year - A New Word

Soo....
It's mid-January...
And for some reason I am still reeling from the holidays, the accident my hubby had almost 5 months ago, and life in general. I am just waiting for life to STOP! so I can catch up, of course, and then it can move on. Which obviously isn't going to happen... so every day I feel like I am just getting a little further and further behind. Then for a few minutes or a day, I feel like there might just be a little light at the end of the tunnel, til something else gets thrown in the mix...

Needless to say, my blog has kind of gotten put on the back burner for a while, because family, kids, and other things have to take priority. However, I am still reading when I can, and hopefully will have my book reviews caught up soon.

Every year, I choose a word for the year. I don't know if you guys do that or not. I read about it a long time ago on a blog and was fascinated with the idea. This year, I kept throwing around words like MARGIN, ORDER, SIMPLIFY, etc... but I just couldn't come up with one that seemed to meet what I really needed. I kept praying about it, and on New Year's Day, I thought, I just need JESUS!

JESUS
So JESUS became my word for the year! If I stay focused on HIM, no matter what life throws my way, or how out of whack life gets, I will still have all I need and the One I need to help handle things.

Matthew 6:33
 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

  1. Amen to that! I am still trying to come up with my word this year. I am thinking my word might be discipline. But can't pin it down.
