My One Word starts Sunday. Resolutions don’t always work and when they don’t work we feel like a failure. My One Word replaces broken promises with a vision for change. When we choose a single word we will have clarity and focus. We will move toward the future rather than swearing off our past.
I’m excited to take this journey of growth with you on Sundays and I’m excited for our small groups to share in this process of transformation together.
Below are some men and women from our church who have already selected their one word. I know you will be just as inspired to read them as I was.

My one word for 2014 is BELIEVE
My one word for 2014 is BELIEVE
Believe in God.
Believe in myself, ‘cause God doesn’t make junk.
Believe that I am God’s idea, that He has a plan and a purpose for me.
I don’t have to understand it, only seek it; and Him.
Believe that I am approved by God and that’s all that really matters because whose approval is more important anyway?
Believe that whatever He asks of me, whichever direction I am nudged or pushed or prodded toward He has equipped me long before I ever started down that path.
Believe that whatever load I am asked to carry, I can do it because He made me that way. He made me able.
And finally, believe that whatever I have done or will do; I am forgiven.
It’s really not complicated, I will simply believe.

My one word for 2014 is PURPOSE
Approach every day with purpose.
Approach everything I do with purpose.
If I don't have a purpose in doing something maybe it's not worth doing.
Simplify things on my to-do list by keeping the ones that have a purpose and aren't just cluttering up my life. Look at my busy calendar and ask "what will I gain this week from my busy schedule?" Find my purpose for the day or week and do something great with it.
