2013: i will BEcoME

I will seek God's truth to dethrone the enemy's lies.

I will pursue healing and remember my wounds no more.

I will know and be known, without walls and without fear.

I will learn to live with a heart fully transformed by vulnerability.

I will get to know that little girl again and see the world through her eyes.

I will learn to overcome and not succumb.

I will smile on purpose and laugh without restraint.

I will write not only out of inspiration but more often out of pursuit.

I will read beautiful words every day. 

I will choose connection over isolation.

I will press in instead of shrink away.

I will lay down regret and take hold of redemption.

I will walk in authority and let go of blame.

I will make the choice to forgive when offense wants to tighten its grip.

I will use my words to bless and not to curse, to build and not break down.

I will pray for those I have labeled my "enemies".

I will hold onto hope in the face of adversity and turn towards love when faced with fear.

I will rest each night under a blanket of peace.

... i will BEcoME.

*A special shout out THANK YOU to Mary Jo for her sweet inspiration to emphasize BE right along with ME. I love it! {January 15}
