WORD OF THE YEAR | 2015.

That's my word for this year. I've been choosing a word for the year for three years now (here's 2014's word and 2013's word) and as a wordy girl, I think it's going to be a long-held tradition. 

Come late December, however, I always get a little panicky because I don't know what that word will be. 

This year's word came a early for me. I don't really know how it got into my heart and mind, but when I heard it, I knew it would be the one. It's one of those gut feelings, you know?

I've been meaning to make faith more of a priority in my life. I think it's something that all people of faith try to do and it's something that I feel like I've written down as goals but never took them seriously in the long-run. 

But I want that to change. I want faith and love and Jesus to be the reasons I wake up in the morning. I want them to be the reasons why I have hope and why I can trust Him even though I can't see Him.

And I think faith all comes down to believing. I want to believe in His promises, believe that His grace is sufficient, and believe that He has great plans for me. I want to believe so that I can help others see and feel His love. 

So I'm going to focus on believing. Not just saying I believe, but truly believing. I want to grow in my faith, I want to see myself change and I want to feel it, too. 

Do you have a word of the year? Or do you have goals for 2015? What are your thoughts on resolutions?
