Happy New Year!
I'd like to share what I posted on facebook earlier today,
"Cheers to the new year! May we leave all the negative behind and surround ourselves with the positive! May your days be bright all the year through. Turn your doubts into possibilities born of faith! Reach out to those who may be forgotten or seem like they are having a bad day. A smile & kind word can make a difference! Thank you family & friends for enriching my life. Love to all!"
I want to start the new year right, especially with a brand new post for the first day of the new year! Yay! The past few weeks have been insane and there's so much to get caught up on on the blog. I feel that this year is going to be AH-MAZING! Do you?! I am so excited because there are some things that I do know that will be happening this month, like MY BIRTHDAY! haha. I've seen around the webosphere that some people choose a word for the year to focus on and help them to stay grounded.
My word for the year is: hope.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
Time and time again I remember that my hope is in God. How comforted I feel to know that His Spirit can be with me, through all the days of my life. The Spirit is there to help, guide and comfort. That really brings peace to my soul.
"The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By His mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is His faithfulness; His mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, "The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in Him!" Lamentations 3:22-2
I find hope as the thread that keeps my faith alive in Christ and that through Christ and because of Christ, he gave hope to the world! How thankful I am for that and for the life and mission Christ gave.
Did you pick a word for the new year? What is your word?

I love this. Like I told another blogger on her blog a sec ago. Getting rid of the negative people in your life will do a world of difference. You'll be amazed at how much better life can be without negativity and negative people.
HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Happiest of New Year's to you. You look amazing. I choose "courage" for my word for 2014 because I am alone in life and moving to my home state, all by myself I will need a lot of courage.
You got me thinking what my word should be. :)
Happy New Year!
I love the positivity of this post! I'm so excited for 2014. My word is confidence, but hope is my second.
