What's Your One Word?

Do you have a word or a theme that you focus on for a year?  

Most people use the start of a new year to create a them or think of a focus word to meditate on for the next year.  That's all good and well but I know myself and I will likely fail if I start something as a new year's resolution.  For me, Autumn seems like the perfect time to start a theme or a word to focus on.  I mean why not?  Fall is time to Restart!  Reboot! and Refresh!

Let's look at that more closely, if you are like me, you may have planted some bulbs this fall so at the start of spring you have new growth!    So if you think of a word to live by now, come spring you may also see some growth and blessing in your own life.

My task this week is to think of that one word.  I also challenged my good friend Jac with the same task and if you are up to it, I challenge you to also find that one word!!

Blessings,

I'm not good enough

My goal was to write a blog post once a week and as that time approached I got cold feet.  I’m not sure why, this isn’t new to me.  I often give advice and encouragement to one of my best friends when her blog posts are due on her church’s blog yet when it was my time to write, I froze. 
Suddenly so many personal negative thoughts flood my head;  No one will listen.  No one will care.  and worst of all, I’m not good enough.  Even when my amazing husband like my facebook page, you would think that would make me grin inside and out but instead, again, I thought I’m not good enough. 

So here I sit at my computer staring at the screen.  I’m trying to change those thoughts.

Remember…

Someone is always listening. 

Someone is always caring. 
You are good enough!

For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength. -- Philippians 4:13
