OPEN

I picked the word OPEN because it embodies the attitude and action that I want to have this year. OPEN has many meanings, so there is flexibility in how it can be interpreted. I will strive to be: open minded; have open spaces in my home by clearing away clutter; have open space in my life to allow new people and experiences in; be open to new challenges, paths and experiences; stay open to possibilities that only God can foresee right now; and strive to keep an open and loving heart.

SUBMIT

Last year I chose HUMBLE, and in a word, become more so. God convicted me with the knowledge of prideful habits and thinking. With study any many trials, (corrections), I am becoming more and more humble. I always struggle with my will vs. God's perfect will, and I have a history of challenging Him with my own choices and temptations, thus my word is SUBMIT, and I know I must let go of the things I hold back from God's plan for me and to fully submit to Him! Be Humble and Submit to God's word, that's my Two Words. "to obey, put under, be subject to, submit oneself unto God's word" Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7

I want to be perfect, just as we should strive to be. Grace describes your personality, your appearance, your love towards others, and many other things.. I think that through this one word, I will be able to eliminate alot of sin out of my life.. Hopefully (:
Hearken

I find that I often interrupt others and that I half listen and half think about what I am going to say next. It's not about me. If I can't be quiet and listen to others how can my heart and mind be quiet enough to hear what God has to say? I chose hearken as my word because it is more than just listening, it is listening AND paying attention.
Follow

I chose "Follow" as my one word for the year, after flip- flopping a bit between words. Follow doesn't mean that I can't, or don't want to, be a leader. Instead, for me, follow means to follow my instincts, follow the signs and, most importantly, follow through. For years, I have felt that God wants to guide me, but I let fear, self consciousness, and stubborness to do things my way, get in the way of his plans for me. I am now ready to surrender and "follow" the path that God has choosen for me.
Patience

I choose my one word because... I tend to set a very fast pace. Anger is the opposite of patience. If I am not patient I am angry. I need to have patience with my father, who is not a believer and my boyfriend, who is a new believer.
Faith

I have found that many of my current circumstances are a result of me thinking that my way is the best way and I know best. This year God has laid it on heart that I neeed to wait for his guidance and have faith that he will lead me in the direction that makes him happy. I was conflicted for a while, not knowing if my word is Faith or Wait, but it came to me that to wait and calm the human mind you must have faith that the Lord will then guide and direct you. So my word for the year is FAITH!!! Lord I plan to trust that you know what is best for my life and will guide me in the best direction, and when I falter remind me you are in control.
PATIENT

I\'m always in a hurry. I live a very fast paced lifestyle and expect everyone else to do the same. As a result, I am in constant conflict with everyone around me. At first, it was just a problem when it involved work but now I\'ve started to notice it negatively affecting every aspect of my life.

David was real and authentic. He made mistakes. However, he ALWAYS went to God. It was his LIFE LONG PURSUIT to build a RELATIONSHIP with the Lord.
