New Year.... direction and purpose....

It is a new year and many are talking about and thinking about goals and resolutions for the year.

I have found myself caught between looking back at what God has done in 2013 and what I want and need to do in 2014.  I have been inspired.  I am waiting expectantly for the sweet words that great authors have to share.  I am thinking through what I want and more importantly what God wants from me in 2014.

So where am I?  Thinking.  Pondering.  Seeking.

I am seeking what the Lord wants from me.  I am thinking about the lessons I have learned and how I should be different because of those lessons.  I am pondering what I want and what the Lord is laying on my heart.  Today with the new year already under way I am try to jump start my brain and my heart so I am walking through this year with purpose and joy.

I have followed several links and done some reading about the idea of choosing one word to sum up how I want to live my life this year.  oneword365.com is an inspiring idea and concept.  One that takes commitment and purpose.  It's a good idea.

Today I am working on my one word.  I have a strong idea about what it is, but I will take time to ponder and mediate on it.  I want to seek the Lord about His plans and then I hope to explore God's ideas and plan this year.
