This year my word didn’t come to me as easily as last year. I’m not sure if it’s because I was avoiding it or the mere fact that I knew it was going to be an uncomfortable challenge. This year I chose the word COMPLETE. I have struggled with maintaining a healthy weight and healthy lifestyle and catch myself looking at the women in society to “try to conform to what they look like”. I could feel in my heart God telling me otherwise, that I am made perfect in his sight. Along with this goes a lack of self-esteem and self-confidence that I need to find in my identity in Christ, not according to the world’s standards. I firmly believe that if I find my identity in Christ that everything else will fall into place. I want to be a more complete woman so that I can truly love myself and therefore give abundant love to those around me. John 14:6 says it perfectly, “Jesus said to him, ‘I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me”. I know I am up for a challenge but am trusting in God to help me become complete, in Him.
