| 2017 - Effort...Fight For It! |
Below are my “Words of the Year” for the last four years: Action, Expectancy & Grace, More, and Believe. They are wonderful words that came with much hope…but normally little effort. So, this year’s Word for the year is Effort.
Do I want my desires fulfilled enough to put forth the effort to see that I get what I want?
I want a closer relationship with God. Am I willing to put forth the effort to read the Bible through this year? I don’t mean a race to the end, I mean studying until I have learned something? Am I willing to spend more time in prayer? Yes, yes! I am willing.
I want to be a better person: More giving, more helpful, more positive, nicer! I want to be the best version of me, to be a light in this world. Am I willing to be nicer, less negative, more helpful, and oh my word…to quit murmuring and complaining?! Yeah, but it ain’t gonna be easy.
I want to lose weight. Am I willing to make the effort to make better choices, slow down, and enjoy the food instead of using it as a means to insulate myself? Am I willing to learn to discipline myself and “die to self” daily in this area? Yes, I am.
I plan to make another detailed post about losing weight…and I’ll probably write about it more this year than last year. Since it’s been a month since I’ve posted, I should, perhaps, make an effort to write more? I won’t promise that one.
I hope 2017 is a happy one for you…full of peace and joy.

Thanks, Deb!
DeleteEffort is a great word. Definitely an action word to accomplish what you want to accomplish this year. Even if you take 2 steps back and only 1 step forward, keep making the effort with your goals; each are so very achievable!
