I start looking around and getting the message from all directions. I'm in a small group of writers. And we circulate our words. Last year I posted them on my hutch where I could write so they were easy to see and pray over. It may seem like one little word. But if God is in it, He will use that one word to start changing your life and you. Love the words you posted. And Jenny, a verse is often tied to it, too.Cara Putmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08316731047954376226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-24090966093632276902012-01-05T22:35:06.563-08:002012-01-05T22:35:06.563-08:00Hey, I recognize some faces here!

So much more of a guide than resolutions that are easily broken.<br /><br />My word for the year is "Learn" and my scripture to support it is Matthew 11:29, "Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."<br /><br />I have a lot of lessons thrust upon me during the year so I am trying to intentionally learn something each day whether it is a class or listening to a story on the radio. Then I ponder the UNintentional lesson it has taught me through the filter of scripture.<br /><br />Peace to all, JulieJulie Hilton Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674573842046580196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-52157960271550701492012-01-05T08:08:34.757-08:002012-01-05T08:08:34.757-08:00My word is commitment.

That also falls in line with Kav's thought about the word touching every aspect of our lives.<br />Thanks, ladies for the wonderful thoughts.Merrilleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617320163408645299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-74509956049770410012012-01-05T06:46:20.646-08:002012-01-05T06:46:20.646-08:00My word would be - and it was somehow suggested by...My word would be - and it was somehow suggested by Merrillee in her blog today - is PRAISE.<br /><br />To give Him the Praise for the small and big things, the good and the not so good, the easy and the difficult tasks.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706070037835903316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-3097983118370158092012-01-05T06:07:18.899-08:002012-01-05T06:07:18.899-08:00This is my first year doing the word thing.

Brilliant idea, isn't it? Because that one word can touch every aspect of your life and do far more good than one measley resolution.<br /><br />This year's word for me is Listen. And I'm doing something a little different this year -- I'm taking one verse from the bible every day and journaling about it. I'm looking up 'hear' and 'hearken' as well. Amazing insights are being revealed to me about my life and my ability (or inability) to truly listen.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.com
