What is Your Word for 2017

I have read many blogs about choosing a Bible verse to be your verse for the year.  One that you will memorize, read daily, and live by.  That is a great idea.  Something to focus on in prayer and in how you live - by His Word.  So, did you choose a verse?  Will you share it and maybe even tell us why that was your choice?

I have not chosen a verse this year.  Instead, I am searching for a word.  One word. I have thought about it, I have prayed for a word, I even thought I had one - then I forgot it!!  Lol!  I have a direction I want my life to go - yes, the direction IS toward Christ.  I do want to get closer to Him, be more like Him in action and deed.  I want my heart to be like His heart.  Because I have noticed once in awhile that my heart is hard toward another instead of loving and forgiving.  I have not found the one word I plan to focus on this year.  I plan to do a bit more praying and reading.  I will let you know what word God lays on my heart.  And if you think about it - say a prayer for me to be able to hear God's word to me - to hear all of God's words to me!!!  God bless!!!
