Privilege
As I have been thinking and reflecting on my word for the year a thought entered my mind. I should not focus on the difficulty of my word but on the awesomeness of getting it! I actually 'heard' God speak. As believers we hear from God and communicate with Him. What an awesome privilege we have to be open with the creator of the world. So not only did I ask God for a word He responded, loud and clear. Some days I do better than others, just like everyone else, but I keep trying. Praise be to God for He alone is good!

Serve
I am brand new to blogging! I really got started because I wanted to follow a few other blogs, not to blog myself.
After listening to K Love (a Chrisitian radio station) I wanted to join in with their 'word for the year'. Instead of a new year's resolution you seek a word from God to guide you through the year. I got SERVE. Really, are you sure about that God?! See I have a baby and I have served, I'm still nursing (over 8 months now) and fulfilling his every need plus a grad student plus running the house plus, plus, plus...
God just waited, He said- Do I really have to repeat myself? I will if you make me.
Ok, I got serve, develop a servant's heart.
"Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others" Philipians 2:4
Now do I have to share my word? What if nobody else knew? If I tell I have to be held accountable. This is not going as I planned. Can't I get a cool word like encourage, inspire or just be. Nope, got to start at the basics...serve. Should be an interesting year ;)
