Yearning to Embrace My One Word for 2019

Every year I begin with setting goals and resolutions for my personal life. About two months in, I have already quit on most of them. I, sometimes, have an issue with sticking to things (especially when it comes to working out). Not sure where that stems from, but it frustrates me to no end. This year, I am yearning to embrace my one word for 2019.

I have decided to go with the “one word” craze and see if that works for me. Now, to only think of  ONE word to plan my year around. That is way harder than just writing out my goals. At first, I thought I would pick “peace”. This has been a year of stress for me. Whether it be stress in my family, stress with my job, stress with my health. TOO.MUCH.STRESS! I just want P.E.A.C.E. and I am willing to fight hard for it.

The word “inspire” has had me thinking a lot as well. I desire to inspire and be inspired. I want to be a woman that encourages and builds others up to reach their true potential. I also want to be cognizant of the things going on around me and be inspired to reach new heights personally. I desire to be a woman of great influence (in a positive way) of course. LOL

But then the word “grow” has been on my mind incessantly. My heart and my desire above all, is to grow in my knowledge of Christ. To seek Him above all other things. And, as I type this, I wonder if the reason I fail at so many things each year is because I don’t truly allow Him to be the Head and lead me the way He wants me to go. I tend to be a very stubborn person, not my best trait, but nonetheless truth. I seem to think I can handle all my daily happenings with no help from anyone else. And yet, I KNOW better. I know I need a Savior to guide me.

So, its official, GROW is my word for 2019. I hope to grow in every area of my life. I want to be a better friend, mom, wife, associate and business owner. I am going to look for ways I can improve these aspects of my life as well as get a hold of my fitness goals I set every year for myself. God help me. LOL

What is your one word for 2019? Or do you set goals and resolutions? I would love to hear.

My prayer for all of you is that you allow the Lord to take the lead and see where He will take you in 2019. It may have moments of difficulty, He never promises easy. But He does tell us that He is there every step of the way. Thank goodness because I know I cannot do it on my own. I would screw it up. LOL

Until next time friends……
