Merry Christmas from My Home to Yours!
*Please note that I will be closing the linkup throughout the rest of December, to enjoy these last few weeks of 2018 with my family. I hope to see you return here in the new year!!*
I can hardly believe that this year is nearly over! So many wonderful memories were made, new opportunities embraced, and beautiful growth experienced.
My “one word” for 2018 was love. It seems like a fairly simple word to make my general focus, and yet I wonder who else among you would agree that loving doesn’t always come easily, does it?
The Lord used this year to stretch me, and grow me.. sometimes painfully beyond my comfort level, but it was good and glorious and holy, all at the same time.
I pray that I have become a little more like Jesus, because of it.
New Year, New Vision
As I’ve been prayerfully contemplating the “one word” the Lord would have me focus on for this year, I was reminded of this scripture verse:
And the Lord answered me:
“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.
For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie.
If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.”(Habukkuk 2:2-3 ESV)
God gives us vision! Isn’t that an exciting truth to behold?
As I prepare my heart for the savior’s birth, and prayerfully discern the Lord’s direction for the new year, it is my prayer that He will ignite me with a vision for the coming year!
This is my prayer for you as well.
Pray with me:
Lord, what a year we have had! If there is anything to recount, it is that you have been so very good to us. And we are forever grateful..
May we finish out the year strong- making room for the savior’s coming, and precious time spent with the ones we love.
Help us to rest when we need to rest, reflect when we need to reflect, mourn when we need to mourn, celebrate when we need to celebrate, and above all- help us to love when we need to love.
Jesus, you are our greatest example!
Light a fire under our bellies and ignite a vision within our heart’s! Make yourself known. Speak clearly and precisely. Open our ears to hear, and our eyes to see the glorious things that await us. Let your Word be a lamp unto our feet, and a light unto our path. Give us a passion and great desire for what You are passionate about! Equip us for the new year!
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
See you in 2019, friends!!

Love is such a perfect choice for a one word of the year. I love choosing a word. Mystery was my word for 2018, and it has been a year of wonderful mysteries. 🙂

Hi, did you know there are spells to win love back from an ex. I have done it. I love reading about relationships and how to make them work, how to better the relationship, and how to keep the spark alive, even how to talk to them a certain way to get them to think a different way about the situation and you. If you need advice or want to win your ex back, try DR EMU copy and message on the following ( Email: emutemple@gmail.com ) or ( WhatsApp: +2347012841542 ) It will change your mentality and get you what you want.
