It's hard to believe another year has been born. The days and months pass so quickly; much too quickly in fact. I can vividly remember last year being in my car and hearing a segment on the radio about picking one word for you for the year. A word that would represent you at that time in life or something you hoped to become. Again, as this New Year has started, I have also seen challenges within the blogging community to do this very thing. It's a great way to reflect and set goals or wishes for the New Year ahead. The word I have chosen is :

GLORIFY

I find this word perfect for 2011 (and really any year) in so many ways. I feel challenged and hopeful to GLORIFY God in all things I do--in all walks of my life...

As a Wife
As a Mother
As a Daughter
As a Sister
As a Friend
As a Neighbor
In how I spend my free time
Through my health and well being
Through my photography and other creative outlets

The list could go on. I know I will not always succeed and in that there IS NOT failure but learning. As I said, this is an ongoing challenge and hope of mine for the year and years to come. What is your word? What does it say about your year ahead?
