Letting Go...

Have you ever given yourself a word for the New Year? A word to focus on. A word to pray about. A word to listen to.   The last few weeks I have been consumed with a couple of different blogs (which in itself is strange since I gave up following my blogs a few years ago) and one blogger's post on her word for the new year struck me.  I've never really had a word for a year. A word to pay attention to.  So, it got me thinking. What would my word be? Would God give me this word like he did this other lady? Would I like my word?  Well, I didn't set out to specifically "pray for my word" but I do have one tugging at me... I do think it's "my word" for the year...When it first came across my mind, you would have thought this was my word awhile back but the more I look at my life, my relationships, my  inner self. This is my word....Well, not quite....you know me, I can't just stick to one word ....So, my words of focus in 2013 will be Letting Go.  There are so many areas in my life where I need to do just that, LET GO.  I need to give it ALL up to God!! Whether it be friendships, relationships, feelings, grudges, Andrew going off to college:(, my ailing husband:( and so on and so on...If I let go, and let God I will feel much more at peace. Amen!
