I read on a blog maybe a week or two ago about having a word that you try to live by throughout the year. I liked the thought of that idea but didn't really think at that time of a way to remember a word. I also wasn't really inspired by some of the suggestions that I read and so just put it out of my mind and moved on. Yesterday as I was trying to start my first day in a new year off right I kept thinking about what word I would have chosen. Then last night as I finished my scriptures reading (never mind it was at 11:15pm)I just felt like I needed a word. I am going to go with PURPOSEFUL. I want to do things with purpose in mind. I want to have relationships with purpose. I want to evaluate the things I am doing and make sure it is the right thing. I found myself last year doing A LOT of different things. Things that were good fine things but didn't serve any particular purpose. My hope is not to eliminate things from my life just be sure to make it as purposeful as I can.
I decided to print my word out on fancy card stock with a fancy ink frame it and put it next to my bed. Hopefully that will help me remember and stay focused!

I love it! And great minds think alike because my favorite word is "Intentional". I want to live a life that is intentionally shaped by my desires, likes, hopes and dreams. Figuring out what all those are is the fun part of life...but once I figure them out....I want to live intentionally.
Good for you!!! You are putting me to shame though...
Wow... 31 weeks already!!! Good luck!
