A Year Devoted.

Every year, for the last 8 years, I have felt prompted by the Lord to focus on a certain word, and from those words, He’s given me verses to focus on as well. Sometimes the word has come to me for the coming year at the final hour, and other times, I’ve been sitting on it for months. This year’s word came to me back in October as I was reading through the book of Acts, and He actually gave me the verse at the same time as the word. But before I get into my word for 2022, I have to acknowledge how much of an impact my word for 2021 has had on me.

Verses from the past years’ words I have focused on.

For the last year, my word has been ROOTED. My hope and desire was to be a woman rooted in the word of God and the rest of my life would branch off from those roots. This word ended up being the biggest blessing over the last year and it anchored me on days that would have been unbearable. I know that being a woman rooted in the word of God and in my relationship with Him has changed my life, so it has become a LIFE WORD for me. It has become a way of life and something I will continue to focus on in the coming year and beyond.

This is my 9th year choosing a word - you can read about all the other ones HERE.  For 2022, my word will be DEVOTED. Devoted means: loyal, faithful, true, steadfast, constant, committed, dedicated.  I want to be DEVOTED to Him and to my relationship with him. My prayer is that through my relationship with Him, I will be devoted to everything the Lord has placed in my life. I want to be a devoted wife, mom, family member, and friend. I want to be devoted to the tasks the Lord has given me, including writing and being able to help a few brides as they plan their weddings for this year. I want to be devoted to each of my children and the care they need specifically to become all that they possibly can be. I also want to be devoted in taking care of myself, so that I can be the very best version of myself!
