This year has been wonderful.
Just plain wonderful.
here are some of the highlights:
1. Going to school full time
2. friendships (new and old)
3. vacation and quality time with family
4. GETTING ENGAGED!
While I have loved every bit of this past year, and I don't want to see it go, I am so excited about 2015.
this next year will be a year of school, fellowship, wedding planning, hanging out with the people I love, the actual wedding, and marriage!!!
This year I wanted to do something I have never done before. Which is choose a verse and a key word from that verse to reflect on throughout the year and apply daily to my life.
I chose Mark 10:45
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
The key word for the year will be serve. I want to be servant to anyone I come in contact with. Putting myself last is a habit I want to get into. It is so contrary to what our culture says we should do, but it was Jesus's specialty. I want to be like him, and my desire is to be a servant.
Do you have a word for the year or a verse that you want to reflect on? I'd love to hear about it!

Hello Lacey, Happy New Year!!! My prayer is that this year may be filled with continuous blessing and wisdom for you from the Lord and that He may give you strength and compassion with your desire to serve this year! I have been reading your blog for several months and been wanting to message you but as it is, this is my first comment. I thank God for you having this blog, it has been of great encouragement in my life. Yours is a blog I can come to for godly edification and sisterly celebration, as you post up snippets about your engagement, which, CONGRATULATIONS girl! Also I love the way your dresser (and globe) turned out:)
ReplyDeleteAnyhow...I wanted to share with you my verse for the year (I, too, have never done it before but God impressed and confirmed this verse in my mind two days before the beginning of 2015). I cannot say I understand it completely, but am asking for the guidance to live it until I do, and when I do, to continue to apply it. And mine is the second part of this verse:
He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8, NIV
With much love,
Val
