My One Word

Last year I had one word that I strove to adhere to all year long. I sat and thought about it long and hard, and in the end the word was revealed to me in none other than what I call a God-thing.

Listen was the word God chose for me.

I had no idea what God wanted me to listen to or for, but looking back I realize that that was the most perfect word for me.

This last fall I started the semester with four gen. ed. classes that I needed to have for my "major" that I didn't really know. I was all set on finishing my second year of community college and possibly going to the Christian college that I had been begging to go to for the past two years.

Then, as luck and timing would have it, after an extensive conversation with one of my friends, after a handful of sleepless nights, after scribbling furiously in my journal, and after probably one of the longest continuous conversations with God that I have ever had, I felt as if I finally heard what God was telling me.

So I went to change my major to Culinary Arts the very next day. But, and this is where the timing part comes in, the week to drop classes without the charge had already come and gone. So I was stuck taking my classes and finally next Friday I will be starting my culinary arts classes!



This year, I choose Love as my one word. This is the area that I think I need to change most in and I'm excited to see what God has in store for me this year!
