So I realized that I never wrote about this last year but for the first time last January I decided to have a word. A word that I would focus on and reflect on. I let the Holy Spirit pick it out for me and throughout the year I would forget and remember it. My word for 2013 was
PERSEVERANCE. I thought it was important because I thought my semester last spring would be brutal to get through (I actually ended up really liking my Psych and MedSurg class) and as it turns out there was more social things that made this year hard. I actually ended up spending an entire semester studying and writing about Hebrews 12:1-2 because of the word perseverance. The funny thing is I studied this verse and then didn't start running until the summer. I don't think that was an accident.
This word was important in ways I never expected. I let the Holy Spirit do his work for 2014 and have decided on the word EMPTY. Empty of myself, empty of this world, stripped of things that don't matter so that I can be filled with the Lord, grace, virtue and things of heaven. I don't know where this world will take me this year but I am excited to find out.
