{One Little Word} 2014

I know my "word" is a few days late, but this year it took me a bit longer to find it.

I had been struggling so much with finding a word that would give me direction, so instead I flipped it around and wrote down some of my priorities and my word just appeared.

 

Some of my priorities for this new year are:

 

1. To increase in the depth of my relationship with God by diving into his word

and spending more dedicated time in prayer.

 

2. To make my marriage a priority.

 

3. To train up my children in the way they should go;

Raising them as opposed to just letting them "grow up".

 

4. Making our house a home...cozy and inviting.

 

5. Learning more alternative medicines and putting them to use.

 

6. Becoming less of a consumer and more of a Homesteader.

 

7. Growing/Raising/Preserving more of the food we eat.

 

8. To get outside more. More walking, more hiking, more exploring.

 

9. To enjoy life more with my family.

 

 

I know that I have already been doing these things, but without much consistency.

This year I want to really focus on them. 

 

When I looked at these things the word that jumped out at me was

{HOMEMAKER}

 

A little old fashioned, but I love it.

More time invested in my family and less time on my phone.

More time learning, and then teaching.

More contentment in the blessings I have.

More fulfillment.

More adventure.

More JOY.

 

"She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness."

Proverbs 31:27

  

What you are focusing on for 2014.

Do you choose a word, do resolutions or set goals?

I would love to hear about it:)
