Absolute.

I am not a super trendy person. I do not do a “word of the year” every year.  I only commit to a word of the year when I feel prompted by God to focus that heavily on one thing.  My word of the year is Discipline.   Those of you who consistently read my blog, may be a little confused.   Yes… That was my word of the year last year for 2022, and it is once again my word of the year for 2023.   I can’t help but laugh when I think about my word of the year being on repeat.   It serves as strong evidence to me of God’s patience, and His sense of humor.   It is also a very tangible reminder to me that God has high standards.   I did grow in discipline in 2022, and yet this is an area where God is clearly telling me to keep striving.   I am not at a place where I am discouraged by this or feel like I am not measuring up.   Instead, it brings me comfort that my high standards for myself and the people around me are an inherited trait.  ...
