My
word for 2019 was PURPOSE. Here’s a post where I talk about it. Last
year, I wanted everything I did to be on purpose, for a purpose, with a
specific purpose in mind.
This
year, my word is VISION. I was inspired by Habakkuk 2:2… (NLV) Then
the Lord answered me and said, “Write down the special dream on stone so that
one may read it in a hurry…” this word
came to me in late November as I began working on my novel for NANOWRIMO, Gossip. As I set out to begin writing, I was
determined (and still am determined) to finish this novel for this writing
year.
I
became stalwart in my demeanor and endeavors to get this done. So, I began to say… “My vision for 2020 is to
complete my novel.” Then… that became my
word for 2020.
Vision… a noun that means… the
ability to think about or plan the future with imagination and wisdom.
It
became clear that completing my vision would not be without obstacles when in
November, the very first week, I was hit with news that rocked my world to the
core. For November, I was unable to
write in a way that was significant. I became
discouraged as a writer and wanted to give up on my VISION for 2020.
But,
when it came time to work on my journal, vision board, and planning for 2020, I
became inspired once again to go for it.
So,
with that… I wrote it down… And
began to walk it out in my life…
I
needed this inspiration to get started…
I
created an ACRONYM for VISION. This was
very liberating for me because it help me see clearly how I needed to go about
accomplishing my goals.
I’m
excited about my word for this year. I’m
looking forward to seeing my vision come to pass this year. I'm going to do it this year!
