Word for 2017: PURPOSE
Before January completely squeaks by, I wanted to share the one word I've chosen as a motto for 2017. It may seem a little late in the game, but January as a whole is a contemplative month for me. I like to pray and think about my goals for the year before committing to them, and December is such a busy month I usually don't do it before the new year hits. I mean, there were 54 people in this house over Christmas. Not exactly conducive to deep and pondering thoughts. 😉 For the past few years I have picked a word of the year that I felt the Lord laid on my heart for that year. My word for 2016 was CHANGE, which came from a preparing of my heart for what I knew would be a year of change! I was facing a new boss, new leadership at church, becoming an Aunt for the first time, and of course by the end of the year voting on a new president. Change is not something I usually embrace, but I knew 2016 would be a time I needed to learn to do so! And I'm so glad I did,
