One Word 2012

Consistency - "The achievement of a level of performance that does not vary greatly in quality over time."

My one word for 2012 is CONSISTENCY.  This is something I struggle with in so many areas of my life.  Maybe it is my "ADD" characteristics, but I am notorious for starting something strong and finishing it fairly weak.  This year I want to focus on consistency in my habits, my relationships and definitely my parenting.     It seems overwhelming for me to think about being consistent, since I am 41 and have not conquered it yet.  But, my God is a faithful God and I know He will give me the power to at least make a little progress in this area this year.  

Instead of making a New Year's Resolution, want to choose a New Year Word?  If so, my friend Alece's link is shown below.  Give it some thought, pick a word and go for it!!  :)

Prayer for 2012

Cross Point Church has a prayer for all of its campuses this year.   This morning, I chose to make it my personal prayer for 2012.

"God change us.  God grow us.  God connect us."

That about sums it up, huh?   Can't think of much more I would ask of God this year.  It is my heart's desire - all three.

God change me - change my bad habits, my bad attitude, my selfishness, etc.
God grow me - grow my faith, my knowledge of you, my marriage, my mothering.
God connect us - bless me and my children with godly friendships, connect us with our church family and knit me closer to my husband and children.

What is your prayer for 2012?
