i am going to start 2012 with a challenge. i am going to choose ONE LITTLE WORD to live with for the entire year. this concept was started and created by {ali edwards}. you can read more about one little word {HERE}. i have struggled to pick just the right word {this is very tough}. i don't know if it's because it's my first time, because there are so many good words or just nerves. i have been shuffling a few words around but this one keeps coming back to me. i. don't. know. why. i am trying not to allow other people's words to influence me in choosing my word. after reading ali's statement of choosing a word..."This is not your mother's word or your spouse's word or your child's word - this is YOUR word" and how some words "choose YOU" i have finally decided.
my one little word:
trust:noun
1. reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.
2. confident expectation of something; hope.
3. confidence in the certainty of future payment for property or goods received; credit: to sell merchandise on trust.
4. a person on whom or thing on which one relies: God is my trust.
this word chose me. it kept coming back to me. i don't know why or how it will apply to me in 2012 but it's mY word. as i embark on this new journey with one little word. i hope you will join in as well. {HERE} i am expecting 2012 to be an eventful and memorable year for me. here are just some of the reasons why...
