I could relate to many of your pursuits, especially the motherly essentials one. We are on this journey together, and I pray that the Lord will show Himself to us in amazing ways this year as we hunger for Him!<br /><br />You already know my word from my blog post today, but I'll post it for others: Satisfied.<br /><br />"Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may be sing for joy and be glad all our days."<br /><br />Kristen Feola<br />Author, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast<br />www.ultimatedanielfast.comkristenfeolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127890692405628585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-41399511967963638542011-01-03T16:10:27.401-05:002011-01-03T16:10:27.401-05:00Wonderful word(s) for this new year.

I have mine and will share soon, but we are once again dealing with sickness:( Hoping to catch up on all your posts soon!<br /><br />Love you!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983747923969997503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-12743234244452436402011-01-02T09:39:36.207-05:002011-01-02T09:39:36.207-05:00My word for this year is Betrothed.
I recently l...My word for this year is <b>Betrothed</b>.<br /><br /> I recently listened to some teachings on the subject of Godly Courtship, in which the speaker made several references to being <b>betrothed to Christ</b>. In short, he was saying that before considering marriage to another, one should be <b>betrothed to Christ</b>. In his opinion (and I wholeheartedly concur) one should be so thoroughly engrossed in seeking the Lord before being betrothed that it will be easy to discern the leading of the Lord concerning a future soul-mate. <br /><br />Therefore, this is my word for this year, <b>betrothed to Christ</b>. I am going to pursue a deeper relationship with the Lord. I want to be <b>betrothed to Christ</b> as it is referenced in 2 Cor. 11:2 -4<br /><br />"I am anxious for you with the deep concern of God himself--anxious that your love should be for Christ alone, just as a pure maiden saves her love for one man only, for the one who will be her husband. But I am frightened, fearing that in some way you will be led away from your pure and simple devotion to our Lord, just as Eve was deceived by Satan in the Garden of Eden."<br /><br />Needless to say, I have been led away from my “pure and simple devotion” to the Lord just as Eve was. It was about half way through 2010 that I came back to the Lord. Now I want my “pure and simple devotion” back again, and I want it to be deeper and more intense than ever before. Instead of putting in extra hours at work or spending my free time surfing the web, I am going to pursue a passionate relationship with the Lord. I want to know the Lord like never before. I want to be <b>betrothed to Christ</b>.<br /><br />Hosea 2:19-20 "And I will <b>betroth</b> you to Me forever; Yes, I will <b>betroth</b> you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion, And I will <b>betroth</b> you to Me in faithfulness. <b>Then you will know the Lord</b> (emphasis added). <br /><br />My parents have been telling me this same thing for many years but due to my rebellious attitude, I wanted nothing to do with it. Now I want to redeem the time that the enemy has stolen. Thanks Mom for the inspiring post, the Lord had been working on my heart and leading me in this direction before I heard your post. It was then that the specific word for this year was given to me. Thank you.<br /><br />Always your loyal son,<br />Lukelcgrzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03192994727302813552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-15750208943123336342011-01-01T14:23:40.033-05:002011-01-01T14:23:40.033-05:00First, I followed you from Ann’s

And relentless, better than persistent - ‘persistence’ with teeth :)<br />Your question? Mine word is connection – living life connected horizontally and vertically. The Vertical comes easy to me – the horizontal – that will be the effort. <br /><br />I’ve just finished praying for your year of “relentless pursuit” that it be a race run well. <br /><br />May God bless and you and all of yoursCraighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376005422623882947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-62870675318787158862011-01-01T12:06:38.987-05:002011-01-01T12:06:38.987-05:00I like it and getting back to the basics is someti...I like it and getting back to the basics is sometimes the best way to think of it.

The thing the Lord keeps putting on my heart is to "be still" (psalm 62)...waiting on the Lord, being led by Him in every area of my life, with my husband, our children, and our home.cooperkelly4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02849137566164878759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-7856289923997425852010-12-31T20:58:55.299-05:002010-12-31T20:58:55.299-05:00Dearest Michelle,

I have been wanting more joy in my life and I feel like the Holy Spirit is leading me to this. Yesterday I came across the same Bible verse twice in one day and I have also come across a certain pastor's messages twice in the past week. <br /><br />May you be blessed with a Happy New Year with your Relentless Pursuit!Country Girl in the Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09245431218949778054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5790273135643270641.post-40319234506127926452010-12-31T16:43:58.533-05:002010-12-31T16:43:58.533-05:00These are WONDERFUL!!
