My choice was not really a choice; the word “connect” just popped into my head as soon as I considered the One Word challenge. It’s led to lots of interesting reflections and, indeed, connections in this half year, so it seems to have been a gift of inspiration! I am also inspired by others’ journeys with their words, so thank you for getting us together each month.

In reply to Lois Flowers. Your daily assignment seems so perfect with your word, Lois. Every day we get a new dawn, so every day we are on the brink of something new. Beautiful!

In reply to David. Your answer #3 particularly brings me joy and hope, David. For all of us. Resetting our default attitude is a difficult thing, but your approach to doing it is beautiful.

You’ve made me think a little harder than normal with this one, Lisa! I don’t really know why I chose “dawn” to be my word; it just felt like the right one. 🙂 Six months in, I still feel like I’m on the brink of something new, with the daily assignment of just doing the next right thing. “Dawn” sort of steadies me in this process, I guess.

FACE:
1. I wanted to focus on what I should be turning towards instead of what I should be turning away from. “Face” as in “face the light” or “the face of Christ“.
2. Obsessing over weakness and failure was not filling me with strength and joy.
3. I think it is helping me reset my default attitude: I fall less often, I don’t fall so far. Most of all: as I have a clearer image of His face, I pick myself sooner and find a way back to His side.

Good to review. Thank you for the reminders, and for facilitating this group! ❤️?

In reply to Paula Short. I love your specific examples, Paula! What a great way to be living intentionally. Those are good practices we all could follow.

In reply to Donna B Reidland. Yes, Donna. We can use "why" in many situations, but the other questions are definitely applicable when we're seeking guidance from God!

In reply to Lynn. It seems like Intentional could be just the right word as you adapt to a new rhythm of life, Lynn! Otherwise, things could really go off the rail willy-nilly. :) Learning to trust God through it all is something I'm working on too this year with Release.
