My words in previous years have been Positive, Calm, Focus, Achieve, Be, Embrace. I found it quite difficult this year to choose a word. I wanted to build on previous words and also be positive. I have eventually chosen the word STRENGTHEN.
I feel that this will help me to build on what I have learned recently about stress management and keeping better routines going, also strengthening my new life here in Edinburgh. I would also like to Strengthen my quiet times with God, and what I have been learning and experiencing in my prayer course. Craft wise I would like to Strengthen my interest and commitment to actually doing some craft work. Healthwise I would like to Strengthen my fitness and healthy living.
I think this will be my Bible verse for the year "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Phillipians 4:13.
I have done something different this year and have signed up for Ali Edwards One Little Word, so that I can keep my word more visible this year.
Other projects I have signed up for are 52 Weeks of Psalms and Journal 52. both free classes.
Have you chosen a word for the year? What projects have you signed up for?

What a great word & I absolutely love that verse in Philippians! My word is FUN & I've signed up for some FUN events & online classes. I clicked over & checked out those two projects you've signed up for & they look fabulous. In my quiet time this year, I'm writing in a journal (at least one full page a day), reading 3 Bible chapters, and reading/pondering a devotional. I really got off track the end of last year & have so enjoyed getting back to this time every morning first thing. I look forward to seeing how STRENGTHEN manifests itself in your life this year.
I'll look forward to following your posts and hearing how you get on.
I haven't signed up to anything, I have no resolutions and only a vague plan to deal with what comes my way this year. I've decided to start easy and see where it takes me.
What a great word for you and beautiful bible verse to go with it. I often choose a quote to go with my word but didn't this year. Maybe I'll have to consider that.
