If you're not on the bandwagon (don't feel bad, because I'm just jumping on it), it's the word for the year post. The one where you think of a word that you'll focus on being/becoming throughout 2013.
For indecisive gals like me, picking one word and committing to it is just as hard as picking a pair of shoes. Or picking what to eat at a restaurant. They're all hard + life changing decisions, I tell ya.
Anyway, I've been trying to come up with what word I'll choose for 2013. Last year, I focused on the phrase, "less is more." I actually really loved that idea and loved all of the things that I came up with. But I want to continue simplifying my life and I think that picking just one word will help me with that. And before you tell me that my word should be simplify, I have to politely reject that suggestion because I think it would drive my family crazy (only because I'm known as the clean/organized sister in the family. I can't help that I like to clean!).
Right now, I'm thinking that my word for the year should be bold. I want to be bolder, I want to be braver, and I want to just do things and take that first step without any hesitation. I know that big changes are in store for this year (graduating--eep!; applying for Master's programs; applying for jobs, etc.) and I know that the bolder I am, the more changes will come. I also know that the bolder I am, the obedient I will be when it comes to listening and obeying God. Fear seems to creep into my head too often and it prevents me from doing what I know deep down He's calling me to do.
So this year, I want to be bold in Christ, for Christ, and through Christ.
Out with the fear, and in with the bold. Bring it on 2013!
