My Word this Year “TRUST” (and a Giveaway)

I asked God this year to give me a word for 2018.  I didn’t do it last year but many of my friends did.  They had trusted that God gave them their “word” and use it to filter many of their decisions.  He had given me a verse of the year before so why not simplify it to just one word.  So I asked and prayed. I so wanted to be able to march around with it when I had situations come up.

My friends this year have chosen words such as BOLD, STRENGTH, and RAIN. I struggled with hearing what word God wanted me to have but then it struck me. My word this year will be TRUST.

Trusting God is such a simple concept but one that I seem to struggle with year after year.  I’m challenging myself to bridge the gap between knowing I should trust and actually trusting.

Do you have a word for 2018?  I’d love to know what it is and how you came to choose it in the comments below.

Which brings me why I’m so excited to let you know about a Winter Blessing Giveaway that is going on through January 17th.

Katie wrote a book I recently read called In Spite of Myself:  How Intentional Praise Can Transform Your Heart and Home and it is included in this prize bundle! I have read the book and have gone through the journaling prompts and I love, love, love this book!  Katie’s stories throughout the book reaffirms the message of trust in all situations and how to choose joy!

It is also exciting as Katie Hornor is one of the featured authors in the Jan/Feb 2018 issue of CherishedMagazine!

So enter today and good luck!
