obviously there are tons more of definitions for this word, but i liked this one the best. :) i have never ever in my whole made a new years resolution... well besides the ever popular "this year i will lose weight" 


so this year i wrote down a few things that i want to change, incorporate into my life and or start. i am really excited.


last year i decided to choose a bible verse to pray over the course of the year.
here it is:

"be still, and know that i am God."

psalm 46:10

so i guess my unofficial word of 2011 was trust.

i learned how to trust God and i hope that at the end of the day year i showed others how to as well. i am not sure that people always understand the power of prayer, trusting god, or what it means to pray. 

there are only three answers to prayers. 

1. yes

2. not yet

3. i have something better in mind.

recently i was telling my husband and dad that i wish i could find a way to stand on a mountain top with a megaphone that could be heard world wide and tell everyone

"God loves you give him a chance. haven't you read footprints? You are not alone he is carrying you through the bad times and walking with you through the good. Our world is falling apart. it's time we brought the Lord back into our daily lives, back into our schools, back into our government, and stop all this madness. it's time we put our trust as a nation united into GOD." 

they said if i could figure it out they'd stand with me on the mountain. i realized that i do have a tiny hill MY BLOG that i can stand on and shout and hope that someone hears me.

ok so back to 2012. i chose a bible verse to pray over this year too. actually i think the verse chose me. it has been turning up a lot in my day to day over the past month.

i think it's perfect. i tend to get grouchy A LOT when my boys are standing in the kitchen and look in the fridge and say 

"mom, can you get me a drink." 

what the what? i can teach them to get what they need on their own...with love. teach with love. do all things with great love. 


it's pretty obvious that this years word is LOVE.

Do you chose a bible verse to pray over for the year or a word of the year? You should. ;)
