New Word, New Commitment
As we begin this new year, I am thinking a lot about the word “commitment.” How do you react when you hear the word commitment? What is your relationship with commitments? I invite you to reflect on this as you reflect on your intentions and how you want to enter into the new year.
Your Word
I invite you to chose a word for 2024. I like this exercise because it is not about creating a goal or adding one more thing to your “to-do” list. It is about being attentive and listening. What are your values and desires when making choices with your time and energy throughout the year?
What do you hope for when you pray for God's guidance? How do you cry out to God in your most frustrating or darkest moments? What words come out? You may not know how to answer these questions, and that is okay. If you are listening for signs of hope, I invite you to begin by expanding your mind and heart to all the ways God is showing you them in the present moment.
