One of my goals for 2023

December 23, 2022

My goal in this new year is to purpose in my heart to not complain verbally but to verbalize praise and to align my words with God’s Word. With our words we speak life or death. We make covenants, contracts and agreements with our words. I want to be a woman and mother that uses my words continually to praise, bless, encourage and speak life over those around me, my home, my family and my business. 

I have so much anticipation and excitement for what is ahead in this coming year and believe that God is on the move, orchestrating things seen and unseen. I want to be so connected with His voice and fully align my thoughts and words with His words above any other’s. 

I want to receive everything He has for us so I’m purposing in my heart to remain close to Him, to intentionally position myself to hear Him by going to the places He tends to meet with me most and to praise and give thanks throughout the journey by seeing the good, not looking at the lack. I want to be like Mary who, after hearing the good news of what she was called to, that ultimately would also usher her into being misunderstood, judged and criticized said, “my soul magnifies the Lord”. No matter what’s ahead, my soul will magnify the Lord. 

“Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, ‘children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.’ Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.” Philippians 2:14-16
