A New Year

With Christmas behind us, people are now beginning to think about the new year.  Hope is usually high as we contemplate what we want to accomplish over the next year.  Some people plan out their desire to change in great detail while other simply say they would like things to change but do nothing to move them in that direction.

I would like to suggest a plan for change that is not overwhelming and yet is hugely beneficial.  How about this year instead of making a list of things that we want to be different, we choose to focus on one thing for the entire year.  

For the last couple of years I have done something called "My One Word" and it has been an amazing journey that has brought me closer to God than I have ever been before.

Instead of trying to work on a list of several things, choose to work on one thing using one word.  It can be a characteristic of Christ or one area you want to improve in.  This word is the focus of the whole year.  I will tell you that your one word will change more than just one area of your life. 

Here is the link to the My One Word website:  My One Word

Through occasional emails and a private on-line journal, this website will help us keep our one word in front of us the whole year. 

The countdown has started and the process of choosing a word and using it to grow will begin in under two weeks.  Begin now to evaluate your life and talk to God about what one thing He would have you work on.

Join me on this journey and let's help each other on the way.
