I am not big on hype or new years resolutions. That after some thoughtful conversations with my girls over the last few weeks I have been contemplating the year ahead and asking God to give me a word, one word to focus my growth.
I will be 60 in 2015, and I feel that my word will be STRENGTH I want to be stronger, physically emotionally, spiritually, finically, mentally....you get the direction. When my birthday comes next Dec 6, 2015 I want to have quantified growth in my life. I want to be able to look in the mirror and see the difference, but not only physically I want to see solid quantifiable spiritual maturity and core strength in my life. I want my husband, children and grandchildren to see it. So what does that look like.
