Reading each of these touched my heart. Many of the “one words” fit my year too. Maybe I have a lot of catching up to do. This is my first year knowing about this site and doing it. I pray that each of you progresses throught the year for your word to be fulfilled and God’s glory shines within all of you. May God bless you in your journey to Him.

After living three months with a secular sister who then threw me out on the streets to be homeless for the next two years, I settled two states away and disowned the “immediate” family.
I’m almost three years now, having my two room apartment, and stronger for having gone through the hardship, but had feelings I didn’t know I was capable of. Those feelings took God from me, and I’ve been working on a better relationship with Him.
I hope to remain as strong as He’s made me through the hardship, but to have the holiness I once enjoyed with Him. I so enjoyed almost all the fruits, and the rug was pulled out from under me. I was made to feel pure hatred. Not AT anyone, just over the wrongs that were done to me.
One thing I did was to journal, and when I found that I was journaling the same things over and over, I put a box in the middle of the room for that subject. It made me write and think less and less about it.
Now I’m back into writing lyrics and I hope to be successful at it. I hope to get better at putting them to notes too. All for God, and I’ve been told I’m good at it.
Another thing I did was to seriously forgive others for the wrongings. If we expect God to forgive us, we should forgive others also.
My One Word is holiness.

I hope to become closer to God and to heal the wrongs I have done to my family. To be a good example to people around me at work and anywhere else.

I hope my one word leads me to be more open to forgiveness of others and reconciliation and also allow me to see where I may have hurt others without knowing it. And when bitterness rears its head again, I hope learning to be a better steward of my love and forgiveness as well as God’s will allow me to walk away from bitter feelings and forgive again…and again… or as many times as I need to. In the end, Jesus wants us to restore all broken relationships and he will use them to bear fruit.

I was in the middle of a fast when the Lord gave me the word “Focus” for 2010, and confirmed it several times in the following days, then I was so thrilled that a friend sent me this website so I can continue to be reminded of it. My focus will be in Him, praying with diligence for others and learning and studying His Word. Thank you for this wonderful encouragement.

My one word is “ASK”. I have a tendacy to have conversations with others to only talk about me and what im dealing with at the time and do not ASK about whats going on in theirs. My word is going to take less focus on me and dig into the lives of others. I also feel like i do not ASK God whats next, whats last, and whats best? Looking foward to 2010.

My one word, LOVE, will definitely help holding myself in a whole new posture. I am not the most affectionate person or most open to being loved. I hope my one word helps me really focus on displaying love, and opening myself to BE LOVED. I tend to have walls surrounding my heart, for fear of the unknown. My one word hopefully lets me open my heart to others and strengthened my current relationships with my family, friends, and significant other.

In living my word, DO, I will help myself remove clutter and other distractions in my life that prevent my reaching other positive goals I have set for myself. In completing my DOing, I will be better able to serve God and His children in a more meaningful way.

My word for the year is journey. I hope to increase the focus that I have on the trinity in my life to guide me down better, new, and spiritually exciting paths for 2010. Since I truly feel that God put this word before me and said, “this is your word for 2010,” I think I’m on the right path already. Now it’s just staying focused enough not to stray to all the other paths calling my name.

To be and feel free in my relationship with the Lord. To have a secure life and healthy relationships with others. Also to be able to love on others the way Jesus would. Hard I know but definately worth it to me. I am one who wants to love everyone I come in contact with. I love to make everyone smile and laugh. It is easy doing this working in the nursing field, but outside of those walls at the hospital, it is a challenge. My heart is to beat that challenge.
