Word of the year Manual & Workbook


A WORD OF THE YEAR is a word (or sometimes a two-word phrase) that represents your motto/mantra for the year.  It is a way for you to be intentional about becoming better in the new year.

Many people use them to help them motivate themselves.

Learn about how this resource came about.

I created this resource to help people use their word more effectively.  This resource is Christian based, but I feel that it will help anyone who wants to use it.

There is the manual and a workbook.

Learning About Using a Word of the Year


I discovered using a WORD OF THE YEAR in 2018 when I began my faith journaling journey.  Read more about that here.

The people in a group I was in was talking about choosing their WORD OF THE YEAR at the end of 2018.  I became intrigued and decided to look into it.  I found it to be a useful tool.  As I usually do… I tool what the people in the group said, and what I learned in my research and took it and made it my own by creating a system to use the word.

A WORD OF THE YEAR is a word (or sometimes a two-word phrase) that represents your motto/mantra for the year.  It is a way for you to be intentional about becoming better in the new year.

My word for 2019 was purpose.  (The word was inspired through 2018 being a rough year and I had to keep reminding myself that I had a purpose for all that I was doing.  So, I felt that 2019 would be a year that I remembered, redefined, renewed, and reinvigorated my purpose in all areas of my life.)

My word for 2020 was vision. (Oddly enough, I did not even realize that 2020 would be 20/20 vision.  It came to me as I was working on my writing project. (Learn more about my writing here.)  The word was inspired by Habakkuk 2:2. I had a vision to complete a project, and I wanted to be intentional with that endeavor, so I wanted to remind myself that I had a vision to complete.)

My word for this year (2021) is intentional. It was that time of year again, people in many of the groups I was in was talking about their word of the year.  I was unable to even write for personal projects in 2020 once the pandemic hit.  I was somewhat hurt by this, but the writing I did in 2020 was spiritual.  So, once again, I decided to complete the writing project once again.  I was doing something else and I heard the song “Intentional” by Travis Greene begin to play in my head.  I brushed it off, but then, the song kept playing in my head over and over for a week.  After that, my word was intentional.  I want to be intentional with everything I say and do.

Long story… right…

Well, it was in 2020 that many people in the groups I was in was asking… “How can I effectively use my word of the year?”

It was in that moment, that I felt lead to share my process with the groups.  So, I did.

Now, I am sharing it with you.  There is the manual and a workbook.

Get it here. Using Your Word of the Year

Enjoy!

December 2020 Bible Reading Plan: VISION STILL STIRS

 

This year's Bible reading plans are based on my word of the Year, VISION.

The Vision Keeper: A Journey of Obedient Sight is your reminder that this is more than a plan—it is a call to stay aligned with what God revealed.
This is a step in
the Journey of Obedient Sight—a journey shaped by focus, discipline, and trust.
This is not just a reading rhythm. It is a spiritual assignment.
Vision still speaks. Vision still stands. Vision still stirs.
Stay faithful. Stay focused.
You are a Vision Keeper.

 

Description:

Even when you think it is over—vision stirs again. In the final month, you are reminded that the stirring of vision is often quiet, personal, and divine. God revives, rekindles, and redirects what He planted. These verses will awaken your spirit for the next season and seal your year with holy expectation.

Vision Keeper’s Pillars


A sacred foundation for those entrusted with divine vision.

These are the five spiritual convictions that guide every Vision Keeper. They anchor the journey of Obedient Sight and help guard the heart when vision feels delayed, opposed, or unclear.

Clarity over Confusion

Vision Keepers seek God for wisdom instead of giving in to mental clutter.

They do not chase every opportunity—they return to the last instruction.

Even when the details are foggy, they trust that clarity comes through stillness and surrender.

“God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” (1 Corinthians 14:33, ESV)


Obedience over Outcome

Vision Keepers are not driven by what might happen—they are anchored by what God already said.

They release the pressure to produce and embrace the call to obey.

Their success is not measured in results, but in faithfulness to divine direction.

“Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” (Luke 11:28, ESV)


Faith over Feelings

Vision Keepers are not ruled by emotion—they are led by conviction.

When discouragement rises, they rehearse the promise. When doubt whispers, they revisit what was written.

They understand that feelings may fade, but faith fuels follow-through.

“We walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7, ESV)


Focus over Distraction

Vision Keepers protect their attention as much as their anointing.

They refuse to chase every good idea that is not God’s idea.

They return to the vision—even when the world tries to pull them in other directions.

“Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.” (Proverbs 4:25, ESV)


Stewardship over Striving

Vision Keepers do not force outcomes—they cultivate what was entrusted.

They are not trying to control the vision, but to carry it with faith, discipline, and care.

They do not rush to prove—they wait to partner.

“It is required of stewards that they be found faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2, ESV)

SOAP Bible Study Method...

 I  have created a page that you can use for Bible Study.  It contains the SOAP method of Bible Study.

Click here to download.



WHAT DOES S.O.A.P. MEAN?


S– The S stands for Scripture- you physically write out the scripture……you’ll be amazed that what God will reveal to you just by taking the time to slow down and actually write out what you are reading!

O– The O stands for observation- what do you see in the verses that you’re reading? Who is the audience? Is there a repetition of words? What words stand out to you?

A– The A stands for Application- this is when God’s Word becomes personal. What is God saying to me today? How can I apply what I just read to my own personal life? What changes do I need to make? Is there an action that I need to take?

P– And finally P stands for Prayer. Pray God’s Word back to Him. If He has revealed something to you during this time in His Word, pray about it. Confess if He has revealed some sin that is in your life.


Studying God’s Word like this can take as little or as long as you have time to give. Some days it can take just 10 or 15 minutes, other days longer.

Again... My thoughts:  I discovered this method when I began my Faith/Bible Journaling journey.  It was a method used in the Happy Planner Faith line.  I enjoyed using it.  It is very popular and most people are familiar with it.  It is easy to use.
