What I will be thinking and pondering about this coming year.
- abiding in Jesus
- praying for more of Him and less of me
- what it looks like to be abiding in the “vine” and what fruit will come out of nurturing that relationship
- studying the fruit of the spirit in depth and learning as much as I can about each one and praying and practicing each one
- abiding in what He has provided for me. Learning to be content in all things and changing my typical “glass half full” perspective to a more Biblical one of gratitude what God has provided and allowed for me.
- abiding / continue / be faithful to the care of my husband, children, and home. Putting them first and not letting myself get lazy in care of them.
- abiding and resting and taking care of myself in the season of small (and not as small anymore) children
Happy Twenty-Thirteen. : )

Sounds like a great way to spend the year! :-) I've never adopted a word, but this year I plan to read about grace. I'm looking forward to it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks familiar: this word Abide. I love your hearing heart and how you apply what you're learning. I have spent time reading Abide In Christ by Andrew Murray this year and have loved it. I have an older version and, though it is a 30-day devotional, it takes me much longer to read through it because I have to chew on the meat of what he is saying.
