Persevere in 2013

2013 is here! There’s something about a new year that gets me all fired up to change for the better. But that feeling soon evaporates if I don’t have the right motivation. Anybody know what I mean? 🙂

So, this year I decided to pick out One Word that will motivate me. I was reading through the book of Galatians when I came across this verse:

“And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” (Galatians 6:9)

The words echoed in my head – Do not give up… in other words, Persevere And that’s how I came up with my word for 2013!

Persevere 2013

2012 was a year of getting my priorities in order. I learnt a lot of hard lessons and improved a bit in these areas:

So, this year I decided to apply the word “Persevere” to 3 other areas of my life that need improvement. This year, I will intentionally persevere in:

  1. Building up my prayer life.
  2. Working towards a healthy lifestyle.
  3. Organizing my home.

Last year I made a list of things I was looking forward to, and they all happened :). I’ll be following the same pattern to accomplish my goals this year as well. Stay tuned to read more about it in the coming weeks.

Have A Blessed 2013!

  1. I love that you chose persevere! That was my word for 2012. God took me places with that word that I NEVER expected! It was a challenging, albeit, tremendously rewarding journey. I look forward to seeing what He has for you… It will be GOOD!
    Blessings to you ~ Mary

  2. I love that word. 🙂

    God hasn’t chosen mine for me yet…I still have several words I’m mulling over. I can’t wait to see what God wants me to work on in 2013.

    I hope perservering changes your life!!
