Have you heard about One Little Word?
The idea of choosing one word to define your year?
I love this so much more than making a resolution. It's just One. Word. So simple, so focused.
Last year, my word was "Choice" or "Choose". I had felt over and over again God speaking to me that my JOY is a choice. Being grateful is a choice. My hearts' fullness or emptiness, in many ways, is a choice. As Ann Voskamp wrote in a recent post, I could probably use a do-over on my 2011 word. In the whole big year of focusing on one simple word, have I got it yet? No, I am, after all, a work in progress.
I am praying about my word for 2012. I have quite a list going, but really want it to be the one God wants me to focus on.
Have you chosen a word for 2012?
I would love for you to share. Post a comment and share with us how you hope to focus & grow in 2012.
Be blessed in 2012, friends!

Hi Lauren! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog this week to say hello! I am so glad you did because it led me to yours! What a lovely family you have! This is the first year I'm doing one little word and I've chosen "Serve". Most specifically I want to serve my husband and kids well. 2011 was far too much about self-centeredness and I can't wait to shed that this year!
I do not choose a word - but a phrase instead. "Be Brilliant at the Basics" is what I'll try to do this year!
I'm glad that my post about inlinkz helped. Hope you can swing by, too, in my Creative Bloggers' Party & Hop :)
