HOPE
Welcome 2012!
It is a new year and time for a new word.
Last year my word of the year, Hope, chose me.
This year at Christmas time, I was at the store Parables searching for 3 coins with words of encouragement to give special people. When I found them and turned to pay for my purchase, an amber colored glass stone with the word Believe caught my attention. After thinking of the word for a few moments, I realized that seeing this stone was a sign that
the word was choosing me.
I decided it was a good word for me to work on this year. Never mind that I was disappointed when I dropped my package on the cement outside and the glass stone was now chipped and cracked.
The word picked me and now I have to live with it.
Later, my second disappointment came when
I realized that the Weight Watchers business had also chosen the word "Believe" in their ad campain.
The fact that I need to loose weight has not escaped my attention, but is that the only reason this word has chosen me?
I probably need to ponder on that thought some.
Now, how do I work on the word Believe this year, knowing that my word
is shared by the world of over weight people
(again..the humor in that phrase has not escaped me)
and that includes a chipped and cracked glass stone.
I have decided that if the word chose me, the word will teach me what I need to know this year.
For now, I will believe that God is answering my prayers
even if it is not how I think they should be answered.
And I am going to work at believeing in myself and that I will have the ability to get through this new year...
even if, like my stone, I am a little bit cracked and chipped!

P.S. The more I hear the Weight Watchers mnessage, the more I like it!
