At a loss for words...

Ok, let's face it, I have never been at a loss for words, so let's revise that as "At a loss of a word" You see last year I chose a word to be my "word of the year" so to speak. I would pray and otherwise focus on one word as much as possible to see if a change would come from it. That word was "Joy" and it really, really, really worked. 

I managed to find joy in the mist of some huge trials and storms but beyond that I started to choose joy in many mundane day to day activities and I saw a huge change in my overall attitude. 

Not that I was this amazingly chipper Pollyanna all of a sudden, but I did feel a change happening in my heart. Some days I would say "Today I choose Joy" over and over and over until I found it but find it I usually did. 

Now it is 2015 and I do not have a word...

I have been looking for weeks... I tried "connect", "restore", "focus" and many others on for size but none fit... Do I need another year of "Joy"? I a pretty sure I can carry my joy forward without it being my word of the year. 

I love the idea of a "verse" for the year but I need to keep it simple and boil it down to one word although that word can come from a verse I will also focus on... Like Joy did... 1 Peter 1:6 NLT - "So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while."

Do you have a word or thought you focus on each year? Do you have any suggestions of a word or words for me? I will pray over any suggestions you have to see if it fits. 

Thanks for listening,
