One Word for 2013

My one word for 2013 is.....


What is a journey? What is the journey that I am on? What is the journey you are on?
 
Journey - 
 The act of traveling from one place to another; a trip.
 
A distance to be traveled or the time required for a trip
 
A process or course likened to traveling; a passage
 
My scripture to guide me on this journey -
 
[But] I don’t care about my own life [consider my life worth anything]. The most important thing [or My only goal] is that I complete [finish] my mission [task, course, race], the work [ministry; service] that the Lord Jesus gave me [ I received from the Lord Jesus] -to tell people [testify/witness to] the Good News [Gospel] about God’s grace. Acts 20:24
 
I began my journey when I was 18 years old.
 
Now I am much older and much has happened along the way.
 
I believe this journey will bring many things.
 
Some old, some new.
 
Some changes.
 
I can't wait for the year ahead to see what the Lord has in store.
 
Not in some mystical far out kind of way.
 
But what He has in store in His word.
 
For His word is a lamp to my feet,
 
a light to my path.
 
He will guide me on this journey....
 
He will walk with me every step of the way....

Hi Friends, I just wanted to share that Courtney at www.womenlivingwell.org is having an ultimate blog bash. You can link-up with other bloggers for an awesome share time. There are numerous categories for bloggers to place their link-up. I am new to the world of blogging. I am having so much fun. I love studying God's Word and sharing what I have gleaned from my own study time. There have been numerous women in my life who have inspired me in my relationship with God. I hope I can do the same for others. I am not perfect. I am just a woman who wants to know God and serve Him to the best of my ability. I have my devotional time each day. It goes something like this ~ I start my coffee brewing, head to my computer and watch the day's video from Wendy Pope. Her ministry is Walking with Women Through the Word. Her website is www.wendypope.org . After watching the video, I read from the NLT Chronological Bible. I try to find one nugget from the day's reading that I can

Amy Deanne Scripture: Proverbs 31:15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls. NIV She gets up before dawn to prepare breakfast for her household and plan the day's work for her servant girls. NLT She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And portions to her maidens. NAS Psalm 5:3 In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation. NIV Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly. NLT In the morning, O LORD, hear my voice. In the morning I lay my needs in front of you, and I wait. GWT Mark 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. NIV Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray. NLT In the morning, long before sun
