MY WORD!

It sorta just came to me last night.
I was thinking about the thing I needed most
at this time in my life.



The top of the list would be a greater capacity for:

Understanding
Patience
Unconditional love
Service
Peace
Knowing when I've done all I can, then leave the rest up to the Lord.
Forgiving
Pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

And for my New Year's Resolution:
Put myself on the top of the "take care of" list.

    Who'd a thunk of that one? Great word, lady. I love the Idaho license plate too. I need a word, but it fails me. I'll just ride on your shirt tails.

    This is a fabulous word. Mine is patience, I think, but specifically, patience with myself. One must not try and do it all, all at the same time. Or so I tell myself daily.

    I've used that word before, as in, "My willingness exceeds my capacity."
    LOL Super duper word, Tauna! LIVE IT!

    That is a word I would have NEVER thought of. Love it. Great choice, and I love how you pointed out part of capacity was knowing when to turn it over to the Lord.

    WHAT A GREAT WORD. Love it. I really love the "knowing when I've done all I can and leave the rest up to the Lord"--I'm not always willing to let go and trust ; (


    I'm still thinking of my word.

    Love it. Just don't pray for patience though, because then you'll be called to Primary Prez. I should know.

    Wonderful choice.

    I love that you are striving to put yourself on the 'take care of' list.
    I think all moms need to do that...and it is so hard.

    Hope that you are at the top of the list today :)
