You aren’t too late, Aritha! There is no timetable for when God gives you your word, so I’m glad you are sharing your word “Obedience” and that you joined the Facebook group! May God bless you too as you focus on obeying him.

I have decided today (after reading a blog about it) to choose a keyword this year: obedience (based on faith in Jesus Christ)

God bless you all.

Thanks, Melynda. I appreciate you sharing about our One Word group! I’ve been encouraged by those who have signed up for it. Thanks also for hosting the Encouraging Hearts and Home linkup. I always enjoy seeing the links there and visiting around.

You are a brave woman, Beckey. 🙂 And I hear you. I’ve been resisting my word the past few weeks, yet God keeps returning me to it again and again, so like you, I’m giving in and going with it. God knows what he’s doing more than we do, and he knows what will help us the most. I’m sure he will bring you blessings through Challenge as he stays at your side with it.

I’m so glad you found a way to join in, Paula! We’re happy to have you. You can do it however you want to. Most people choose one word (or two), but it’s all up to you. I usually pick one word, and add a verse to go with it.
