My "One Little Word"

I'm so ready to take on a new year!! There are so many things I'm planning...doing, changing, being, creating, and the list goes on and on. I feel the need to shed this old skin and begin a new. Thing is, my new year started a couple of months ago, I truly believe change begins the moment you think it. The moment you meditate on making a change in your life, that's the moment that change begin..Action is the key to change. No one can expect something different from doing the same ole thing, you MUST do something different to gain a new result.


From moment to moment, day to day our lives change; season's change; people change...this statement came to mind and I initially thought of choosing the word "Change". However, something spoke to me saying, "that's not it". Late one Monday night, while lying in bed it struck me.."READY"


That's my word..


There are so many things that transpire in life, that sometimes life itself can get the best of you. Often times we can get so wrapped up in the things of this world, and it can cause you to lose focus on what's really important/valuable (keep) and what's not (trash). It's important to know who you are in Christ, not to let the actions of other's cloud your mind and drain you of your energy..that's not of God. Be ready at all times, live "this" life to the fullest, be equipped, be willing to let go...

Ready (adjective) read∙y [re´ddee]

Meaning:

1. Prepared for something



2. Finished and available for use



3. On point of doing something



4. Willing to do something



5. Quickly produced



6. Prepared in advance



7. Intelligent

Key words: prepared, set, all set, complete, standing by, geared up, equipped, organized, arranged, willing, game, eager, keen, glad

All of the above explains my mode, but mostly, I am equipped by God and eager to start.

Also remember, when starting fresh or starting over with anything in life, you don't have to wait until the first of the year. A new start begins with the mindset to do better, to go forth. If anyone or anything is hindering you from going forth, I suggest you unleash it and move on..going backwards or standing still is not an option in my life.
