In the past, my word has been obvious that it spoke to me. This year I chose my word and still questioned 17 days later was it my word or had I just settled. This week I think I have realized something- I have picked the right word.
My ONE WORD for 2013 is ......
Focused. See I feel scattered, disjointed, pulled, distracted and most of all not clearly FOCUSED. I am looking at a year of decision-Some for me, some that my children will make, and some with Philip. As apart of a group study & church challenge, I was entering January with a food fast of sorts ( 7, a mutiny against excess by Jen Hatmaker). I thought this is the perfect storm to become FOCUSED. Even as I began my journey into 2013, I have struggled by not feeling I chose the right word. I have finally decided this week that I am on target.
I have bounced from thing to thing & thought to thought all week. I am beginning to feel like a ping pong ball. It hit me hard today- FOCUS! I am lacking focus.
So I decided to sit still, a write my thoughts. This will be a place where I can remind myself of my WORD. I believe the clearing of my body of yucky food & my thoughts from that food to God's call on my life is step one of the year of FOCUSED living!
