My word of the year is… Believe from when my daughter was killed, and I had to figure out how to move forward without her. By believing in God I was able to do this and through him I know have Charlie.
Through the past two years of Bullying and Charlie trying to take his own life, I have told him repeatedly that things would get more comfortable if he would just believe. I always remind Charlie that he isn’t stupid and just to put one foot in front of the other and never to give up.
I have been telling both David this year as we have been struggling in so many ways. I hear myself saying myself over and over to take a deep breath and breathe as things will get better if we just believe.
We are approaching 2018, and I knew that I wanted to go back to 2016 when my word of the year believe. Believe is what it closet to my heart and means the most to my family. Even though I had chosen soar as my word of the year last year, I never felt entirely sure it was the right word for us.
After Praying and discussing things with my family and talking about Faith and Fully Relying on God, I could feel the stress melting away. As I told David we just need to believe 2018 would be a better year.
Come join me and share your word of the year with me. As I know through God all things are possible if we take the time to breathe and believe in him. Just remember though because we ask for things God might have different plans for us, and that is fine as long as we think he knows what is best for us.
2017 has been horrid. I hope your troubles and worries fade away and the word believe is the mantra that keeps you uplifted.
I like that word too, and like you, it is a good one.
May we all have more faith and fewer doubts and your year be blessed.
