My Word of the Year

Last year was my first time to name the year.

It was a perfect fit for 2011.

As the new year rolled around, themes started running through my head.

I once again asked God to show me and He was quick to reply.

S-T-R-E-T-C-H

Oh how appropriate … and oh how uncomfortable!!

The ideas started tumbling in my head.

I want to STRETCH …

… my FAITH

  • give Christ His rightful position as ruler of my time
  • encourage others with the Word of God
  • banish the fears I still carry around after losing a child

… my BLOG

  • share more of our daily life
  • cheer on homeschooling moms
  • build up community

… my FINANCES

… my HABITS

  • continue our shift towards whole foods
  • 30 minutes of exercise 5 days a week
  • force myself into an earlier bedtime

… my HOMEMAKING

  • scatter scripture throughout our home
  • decorate for my family, not for a design mag
  • shop my house and re-purpose what we have

… my CREATIVITY

  • start doodling
  • learn how to quill
  • put my new watercolor pencils to use

… my COMFORT ZONE

  • offer guidance to a group of future homeschoolers
  • teach a Couponing 101 class
  • promote my husband’s business

I hope that posting this long list will hold me accountable (gulp)!!

Did you name your year?

Please leave a link to your post, or tell us in the comments.

I would love to know!!

31 Days to Clean

I’ve read rave reviews the past few weeks about the new eBook                 31 Days to Clean: Having a Martha House the Mary Way.

Every day has two challenges:

  • The Mary Challenge -Something you do that encourages/engages your heart
  • The Martha Challenge – Specific cleaning tasks

There are tons of resources out there that tell you how to tackle your house, but this one also deals with the heart issues involved.

I discovered that, starting May 1st, there is going to be a 31-Day Homemaker’s Challenge using this book.

There is a Kindle version that can also be read on Kindle PC, which is super handy for highlighting and taking notes without having to print.

The eBook is ONLY $4.99, but if you share through your blog or Twitter before midnight tonight (EST) you can get a free copy!

Naming My Year

You may have noticed around Bloggyworld that people are naming the New Year.

Several words swirled around in my brain as I contemplated a name for my year: Glorify, Create, Joy, Simplify, Determined, Diligent

I asked God to show me what He would name my year, and He quickly answered.

{ RHYTHM }

And of course it is perfect.

I have worked hard this past year to simplify our life so that I can slow down and enjoy it. I am by nature disorganized, scattered, easily bored. Habits die hard, but little by little I have added structure to what was once chaos.

Here is what the word {Rhythm} stirs up in me:

  • Beauty
  • Grace
  • Warmth
  • Hospitality
  • Traditions
  • Simplicity
  • Welcoming
  • Comfortable

So this is The Year of Rhythm.

~ A year of living to the beat of His heart. ~

Hopefully I can look at my life at the end of the year, God willing, and say it is so!
