So as January 2013 rolled around and I knew I would have to pick a word- I started to brainstorm. My first thought was "Survive"...haha... I'm not kidding. It's probably because the first moments I get to sit down are at 8pm and my body is so tired and worn down and most nights I think, "we survived another day " But God began to do amazing things in me this week. I hit a low point last weekend and started to realize that I had become run-down, negative, anxious, critical, you name it, all things I would never want to be. I knew I was the only one who could do something about it, so I started to brainstorm with Matt about small things I could do that would help me get through the day with a better attitude and more energy! He began to encourage me to start filling my self with more positive things, scripture, devotionals, speakers and pod-cast, positive friends, etc. So after a week of trying to do a few of those things a new word popped into my head and it won't leave. So I trust that it's God telling me to settle on it. It's "Worship". I found this definition and loved it, "To worship God is to realize the purpose for which is created us." Not exactly sure what that looks like, but I heard God telling me that we can do more than just survive, that we can worship Him. That in the tough moments, we need to worship Him. That in the busy moments, we need to be still and worship Him. That in the great moments, we need to worship Him for every blessing. So here's a prayer that I can do what God has intended for me to do this year! I encourage you to pick a word and see how it changes you! Would love to chat about it if you do:)
