At this time of year, for many years I have prayed for guidance in selecting one word/phrase that would be my primary focus for the upcoming year. God has never failed to provide me with an answer, and His faithfulness continues as I move into 2019. I was rather surprised by this result, as it’s a very powerful and active word.
Relentless
The word means “showing or promising no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace; incessant, persistent, nonstop, continuous, unyielding, adamant, single-minded, unstoppable, tenacious, unremitting.”
My mind keeps turning it over and over, applying it to a variety of situations and circumstances, both personal and professional. At first it seems to be a negative word, yet the more I think about it, the more I’m seeing how positive this adjective can affect my life. As a life coach I’ve often told my clients, “Any strength, overused, can become a weakness.” Such could certainly be the case with being relentless, and yet, I find myself smiling and feeling excitement as I lift this word up, examine it, hold it in the sunlight and watch it glisten and glimmer with sparking possibilities and promise.
I can’t wait to see what God has planned for me this year!
Do you have a word for the year? If so, I’d love to hear what your word is, and why you have chosen it… or it has chosen you!
