The New Year brings new beginnings, second chances, or a refreshing regenerate of the mind. Many people set a New Year resolution, In which many will break before January is over. (so true :-) ) Even though I don't make resolutions, I do set God-given goals for myself in the spring around my birthday, it seems to be a lot less complicated and stressful. A few year ago I had several conversations with some people in Ministry and heard their testimonies of a book they read and the result of that application in their life. It intrigued me to apply it to my life. Its call My One Word http://myoneword.org Now, I have not read this book or seen the video's – no particular reason just timing I guess. Last year God gave me the word PRESS, Press in, Press through, Press on. I even set the words as a screen saver on my computer, to keep the word in my face for the year, I even thought about getting one of those red easy buttons you see on the ads. 2017 was a very difficult year, a year that assuredly wasn't the worst I'd ever had but, it is right there on the top self with those other years. By God giving me the word PRESS to focus on, it led me to Press into Him, Press through the circumstances, and to Press on another day. I have to say God was amazing this past year in what He did in our Circumstances. He was Above and Beyond all that I could ask or image. As a friend told me; they were Kisses from Him reminding me that He is the God that See's, He has not forgotten who I am, His Daughter. This year I cling once again to the One Word that God dropped into my heart. The Word is JOY, this year is a year of Joy to be enjoyed, to embrace Joy, and to wait in expectation full of Joy. The wallpaper on my phone is my reminder for the year. It is just a simple blue door, an old rustic door with some Iron-work. As I look at that door, I feel Joy in waiting in expectation to see what God will do next. Not what I am expecting of Him, but what He wants to do, and I get to watch. I don't know what is behind that Blue Door nor do I know when He will open it. So, I Joyfully wait in expectation of what He will do next VJB
