On Wednesday I shared with you my word for 2015…Thrive. When I think about what it means in my life to Thrive many thoughts come to mind. By the end of 2014 so many areas of my life were out of control it was difficult to focus on anything.
As I prayed for my focus for this year I struggled because I knew there was no way I could focus on one thing. God gently whispered to my heart, “I’m not asking you to focus on one thing. I’m asking you to give the chaos, the frustrations, the worry, and the struggle for surviving through the day over to me. I want you to hand it all to me and let me help you THRIVE.”
And that’s what I commit to do. I commit to give up surviving and allow God to show me and lead me in my to-do list, my marriage, my parenting, my ministry, and my finances. I want this year to be a year of THRIVING in my trust in God’s leadership in my life.
I know I am not the only one who struggles with this and I want you to know you are not alone. So my friends over the next few weeks I will share with you my successes and failures as I seek to Thrive by God’s standards.
