December 1 – One Word. Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you? (More at Reverb10.com)
The one word that encapsulates 2010: Focus. This year has been challenging in many ways, all of which come back to my focus. When I have allowed myself to get distracted, I struggle against the tides of disappointment (past), discontent (present) and despair (future). But when I am focused, on what God has given me and what God has for me right now, life is meaningful and fulfilling. That's what I wish for my every day.
My word for 2011 will be: Contentment. Not far from "focus", contentment is a valuable asset to me. When I am focused on the right target, I am content. In this year ahead, I want to live in contentment, not longing for what I don't have, what I feel I lack, but simply content.
"...I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do everything through him who gives me strength." Philippians 4:11-13
