Every year since 2013, I have chosen One Word to help focus my life, my vision, and my calling for that year. If you look on the sides of the blog, you can see some of my past years' words. I've chosen words such as success, intentional, flourish, and imagine. Last year, my word was surrender. This year, I chose a word that expressed my desire to cling to the Lord, maintain my ministry to young adults, and not allow me to give in to failure and defeat. My One Word this year is....
I chose this word to remind me that if I commit my works to the Lord, my plans, in His will and with His guidance, will succeed. I do sometimes need reminding that I must walk in integrity, following through with things I've committed myself to completing, too. How easy it can be to simply lay it on the Lord and tell others, "That season is over for me for now..." when in reality, the Lord has NOT released you from that commitment! I struggle in this area because I don't see aa many young adults attending our meetings like they did two years ago. But in the past year, I've had to privilege of mentoring some pretty amazing young people on a one-on-one basis. That's what the Lord had for me to do, and so that is just what I did. Who am I to tell God HOW to run the ministry HE gave me?!
Finally, be flexible, moldable, and teachable with the word you chose for the year. Allow the Lord to show you how you can grow and mature and move deeper into the talents and calling He has put on your life. He has equipped you to do something only YOU can do! Trust Him to hone your skills, talents, vision, and dreams so that you can learn exactly what you were created to do for His Kingdom!
