I poached a blog posting from Sandy! :)

O.k. I totally took this from my friend Sandy.  She's awesome, though, and told me that I can.  I just thought that it was something I really, really need to pray about.  So here it is...

I was listening to KLOVE the other day, and the morning show hosts were talking about one word. 
This one word website talks about taking all of your resolutions and condensing it into one word.

From the website:

Our resolutions seldom work because they focus on the type of person we want to become rather than who God wants us to be. Many people do not see God at work in their lives simply because they don’t know what to look for. So, what if our hopes for the year centered on who God wanted us to become instead?

So. One word to sum up who/where/what we should be at the end of this year. 

Hmm. I'm still pondering that.
There are lots of things I want to accomplish this year. Lose weight, be better organized, read the bible every day..blah blah blah. But those are all superficial accomplishments. What about ME.
What does God want of me this year?
I dunno. I know I need to be a better wife, a better mother, better homeschooler...but 'better' doesn't seem to be the right word either. Again, that makes it about me.
So. After much thought, I've decided my word is LESS.
I want to be less.
Less selfish
Less needy
Less angry
Less fat ( =P )
Less negative

And yes, I could also have summed that up with 'more'. Because I DO want to be more. More kind, more gentle, more active...but I don't want to be MORE. I want to be LESS. LESS me and MORE God. Less of my flesh and more of God's grace.

I want people to see less of me and more of Christ.

Less.

What's your word?
