Happy New Year!
Can you believe it is 2012! Time really does go faster ... as I get older.. seems like it should still be 2008.. 2009... 2010...
So what are your goals for this year? Your word? Do you choose a word for the year? What's on your reading list?
I have been thinking about what I believe my word will be. It is such a given. For awhile though this word continues to come up. I think it does for everyone... it is simple but really not.
GRACE~
a favor rendered by one who need not do so....
God's unmerited favor=GRACE
This word continues to come up... over and over.... we have been visiting a church named Gracepointe, my son Mike (Michael) launched a church plant (w/ Rick Garrett) named Grace-Conway.... these two pics above ... one I bought this summer and one a friend gave me this Christmas. For months I have been listening to Shaun Groves sing "All is Grace." His grace is enough. His grace carries me over and over again... it is by HIS GRACE that I am HIS.
Eph. 4:7 Grace was given to each one of us according to the measures of Christ's gift.
2 Cor. 12:9 He said to me "My grace is enough for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness."
Eph. 2:8 For by grace you have been saved... through faith... it is the gift of God
So, remember Your people,
Remember Your children,
Remember Your promise, O God.
Your grace is enough.
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me ~ Matt Maher
All is Grace, All is Grace
All is Grace and Grace enough
All is Grace, All is Grace
All is Grace and Grace enough
For all of us~ For all of us ~ Shaun Groves
His Grace is enough~
For the New Year... sponsor a child.. change a life!
Grace~
Love your word Teena. My word is Listen. I feel like God has been prepping me for this for a couple years and I'm so excited to hear what he has in store for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
It is a precious word Teena. I'm not sure what mine is yet. I have been feeling that there will be more than one - sort of slipped into my heart as the year goes by.
ReplyDeleteI pray your year will be filled with riches of His blessing.
Finally learned to comment! YAY! It's neat I read this. I had never heard of having a "word" and all on my own decided I wanted to pray this year about serve...serving others through my service for God and that He would open doors for our family. Then, I read in my New Year's guide post about having a word for the New Year. I knew what mine was already. Then, I've read about you doing this. God is so wonderful in the ways He works. Love ya! Happy New Year! Laurie
