2014: who knows what is going to happen? [okay...God does. but he knows EVERYTHING.]
some people come up with resolutions. some people have a word they focus on. i chose a word [mainly because if i made resolutions [like become an avid exerciser] i would feel obligated to do it. and we all know i don't want to do that. so. the word. the word of the year is abide.
//i love my definition [and i just how the word looks in general. it's classy.] if you look up the definition you might get some answers i don't like. so i will give you my definition from the daily word usage dictionary of bethany cummins [yes this really does exist. and no it is not a new thing.] ::abide: to dwell, remain, stay, reside, endure, sustain, withstand.
my word comes from:
john 15:4
"dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [live in Me, and I will live in you.] just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me."
:this is my word and my focus for the year. where God is going to take it, i am unaware. but i wait. expectant of what he will do. through all of life's circumstances that will be thrown at me this year, i will choose [or at least have the plan to choose] to abide in Christ. do you have any resolutions or perhaps a word you are focusing on?
Love your word for the year!
