I call it my watch word because I need the sense of accountability and a focus to still my restless soul. I truly do want this to last beyond the beginning of the year.

There is something about that term that caught my attention. Choosing a one word means more when it is prat of your everyday vernacular and not just a word you right about at the beginning of each year. <br /><br />I write about my one word today and know that through reflection, prayer, and intentionality it will be an amazing year.

In a conversation with another lady last night we were talking about "seeing" our husbands through God's eyes. And shouldn't we "see" everyone through God's eyes? I know not always easy and we move through our days so quickly to not even notice people, so yes, may we slow down to see. <br />Thank you for your encouragement as I enter the writing world again, maybe. :)<br />Much love to you, (((hugs)))<br />BethSimply Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583157577579026991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-11109155884702002742016-01-05T03:30:19.593-08:002016-01-05T03:30:19.593-08:00I feel like I've been moving at "laser sp...I feel like I've been moving at "laser speed" as well.

I really feel Him calling to me to slow down so that I don't miss the marvels and wonders along the way. Sometimes, that does involve saying, "No", to other things. <br />Blessings to you sweet friend,<br />BevBev Rihtarchik - Walking Well With Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18225613427007199391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-10215217544776279232016-01-04T02:01:27.789-08:002016-01-04T02:01:27.789-08:00Stacy,

Unfortunately, life doesn't come with blinders, so I must exercise and train my eyes to stay focused on my life-giving Lord.

Standing with you in the fight for less. I, too, want to slow down, to learn the feel of the word "no" in my mouth without guilt in the heart, to leave space for God to work without my eyes glancing at my watch to see if He's working fast enough to suit me. Blessings to you as you seek this path as well. Always good to know what your heart is saying.Michele Morinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814119096056835884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2443269509543825661.post-71736356380552852202016-01-03T00:45:45.008-08:002016-01-03T00:45:45.008-08:00I love your thoughts on seeing.

But I do think I would benefit from those blinders placed on the horses, so as not to be distracted by things outside my true focus.

I always appreciate your insights!! Many blessings to you in this New Year!<br />Always,<br />Bev<br />ps. I actually played (and we sang off key) Christmas carols on the piano this year - major accomplishment.

Thank you, Bev, for a worthwhile focus as we begin 2016: full vision for what God would have us see, and his wisdom to discern how to respond. www.nancyaruegg.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060173405144735663noreply@blogger.com
