Discipline!

I am committed to blogging several times a week!

So here we go... its 2014 and the beginning of a new journey. I've started this over and over again, trying to find the right thing to write about. I've procrastinated, I've tried to use self-discipline (there's that word) and the outcome has pretty much been the same. I'm bouncing all over the place like a ping pong ball!

I lived in Arizona for over 30 years, in the hot, hot, hot desert. Where in the summer time it is 100 degrees when you get up, rose to 112 during the day, and back to 100 at night. I always felt we had two seasons, summer and spring.

I said all that to say, a few years ago, my word for the year was faith. Well after faith, I thought journey would be a good word and found myself relocating to Alabama without a whole lot of planning. I literally took a journey based on faith. And I ended in a sub division with some of the coolest neighbors, this guy lives to the left of me.

My Word for 2014

Several years ago, I remember finding Ali Edwards website and reading about "One Little Word," and how all these people was picking a word for the year and I thought "how cool" is that! I think I'm going to pick a word too and my word is going to be "FAITH". OMG! I had no idea the level on which my faith would be tested, how far I would be stretched in a year, and how in the end it would be my faith that kept me from losing my mind. So, this year my word is going to be, DISCIPLINE, it makes me both nervous and excited. Nervous because I need discipline in so many area's of my life and excited because of the possibilities, when applied.

discipline - 1. exercise especially in self control by controlling your behavior 2. to train or develop by instruction 3. to train (yourself to do something)
