Drumroll please...

After some journalling, processing and a conversation with a friend, I have chosen my word for this year:  Clarity. By definition it means "clearness or lucidity as to perception or understanding; freedom from indistinctness or ambiguity" and in the original Latin means "brightness, splendor."

I feel like a lot of work has been done to define where I am and the general direction my journey is headed, but I also feel like I'm standing on the brink of so much with barely enough light for this step. I have been in similar places and struggled with fear and battled peace. I want to try something new this time. Praying, focusing on clarity, on clearness of perception, on lucidity of understanding, of brightness and splendor, of power, love, and the sound mind God has given me.

I believe God desires to work in and through me, to reveal Himself to me, and through me to those in my circle of influence. In my family, church, community...I stand open and ready to step out in faith where the light of clarity illuminates.  

Have you chosen a word for 2015? I would love to hear about it!
