Last night my women's small group met and we all shared our 2012 one little word. It was a memorable meeting and so inspiring to hear how God is working in all of our lives.
What is this? Great description from My one word :
"Every New Year we hope this will finally be the year that things will change. We make promises about the new person we're going to become, pledging to get a grip on our finances, get in shape, become a better parent, spouse, even a nicer human being! But there’s one problem: our resolutions seldom work. The busy pace of life gets the better of us, and suddenly, the year is over with little to no personal growth having occurred in our lives.
“My One Word” is an experiment designed to move you beyond the past and look ahead. The challenge is simple: lose the long list of changes you want to make this year and instead pick ONE WORD. This process provides clarity by taking all of your big plans for life change and narrowing them down into a single thing. One word focuses on your character and creates a vision for your future. So, we invite you to join us and pick one word in 2012"
If you are new to the one little word, check out my page on the right side bar for all the info. I created forms to use to identify your one little word and they are free to download here.
Here is the one little word for our women's group. Very powerful when you see them all together!
IMPACT Love devotion believe praise renew experience steadfast LOVE light sacrifice Christ-like self-control faithful wait hope
Would love to have you join us!
I picked up on this idea from the "magical" group and my word is "minimize." One might wonder what that could mean. For me it is a paring down of possessions and obligations that will allow me to open up my life to more time with God and my art. A freeing experience already.
Diane, glad to connect with other believing folks.Following now, hope you'll come by and follow on mine.
Blessings,
Coleen in Ukraine
