I know that many people don’t make resolutions, but they have a “word of the year”. 2014 was good for me in many ways, but difficult in many others. I had a different word picked out, but as I was thinking about it this morning, the Lord gave me this word instead.
Dedication.
I encompasses so much.
Dedication to my writing. To learning more, working harder, networking better. Dedication to becoming better at my craft.
Dedication to my family. Even when I have deadlines, I need to remember their importance to me. Alyssa doesn’t have that many more years left at home. I need to spend time with her. Marriages need attention. I need to be dedicated to my husband and our relationship.
Dedication to my work, both my church work and my work at home. I cannot neglect either. I’ve been called by God to be dedicated to these areas of my life as well.
Dedication to my health. That means exercising more and eating better. I know I feel better when I do these things. When I feel better, I can be more dedicated to the things above.
And above all, dedication to my Lord. Dedicated to spending time with him each day, even on the busiest of days. Dedication to prayer. Dedication to worship.
What do you want to be more dedicated to in the new year?
I like your word for 2015; all the things you mentioned are so important. My word for 2015 is hope. As a senior adult, I am thankful for the hope I have in the Lord Jesus Christ.
I loved this article because me and my mom are planning on starting a small garden and wanted to use easy vegetables first so that we could decide on weather to make one or not. Thanks!
