Yes, I know we're already a few weeks into this new year, but hey, you don't know...maybe I've been making progress on some things that have prevented me from blogging about my word. Or, I just haven't gotten to it, yet. Well, now is the time.
The challenge is to pick a word that will stick with you throughout this year. A word to reflect on or focus on. Something to work on or move towards or revel in.....a couple of words I've seen floating around the blog-o-sphere are CALM & CULTIVATE. Good choices indeed.
I thought that picking the word would be difficult, but really....the word came to me quickly.
Progress encompasses so many areas for me, from simple all the way over to difficult. I would love to organize our closets and home office and have a "system" that works for organizing. But that means more than just cleaning out the closets....I've done that a million times before. I need a plan....
I'm making progress in health related areas, too. Specifically, shedding baby weight! I'll probably post more later about the gym I go to (CrossFit) and how ridiculously hard the workouts are.
I'm dedicated to making progress in really abstract areas of life, too. For example, NOT Christmas shopping on Christmas Eve and freaking out at my dear husband as the minutes tick by. Also, starting some cool traditions that can bring us closer as a family. Maybe I'll work on not leaving clean clothes in the laundry basket for a week...or make a few scrapbook pages for children other than my first born.
The most important area of progress is happening in my relationship with Christ. Even though I committed my life to Christ 17 years ago, God isn't done with me yet! Thank goodness! He has shown me a lot of things that I need to work on to be more like the person He created me to be. The work is hard ( terrifying, excruciating, humbling, etc.) but the results will be well worth it!
So, as you can tell, I'll be making a lot of PROGRESS over here....
What's your word?
