Focus Word

I like this idea of a focus word. I first heard about a focus word in lieu of a new years resolution on the radio.  Although, it wasn't until my reading professor charged us to think of a focus word for either the semester or year that I stopped and listened. As God often does, I believe he took this opportunity of silence to whisper to me. Immediately I heard the word humble. Be humble.

"What do you mean?" I asked Him back. His response resonated with me.

Be humble and let go. Stop trying to be a perfectionist; you are only made perfect in Me.
Be humble in motherhood. You will struggle and grow, but I will guide you along the way.
Be humble as a teacher. Remember to serve and teach your students as I serve and teach you.
Be humble as a student. There is always something new to learn.
Be humble in every situation.
