I’m joining in with Alece’s ONE WORD challenge for the new year. Instead of picking a New Years Resolution (which I never do anyways), I thought I should focus on ONE WORD.
SHINE
That’s my one word this year. It’s a significant word to me in many ways, and its a word that God has been pressing on me for some time. It’s also the entire mission statement of my non-profit, Shine International, in one concept:
To Shine. To Be The Light.
But the truth is I don’t always represent myself so well. I don’t always feel liking shining. I don’t always feel like being positive. I don’t always feel like living out my mission.
And it’s in these moments when I have to dig deeper and pull in tighter to HIM.
Because the truth is I can’t do it on my own, but I know the closer I am to HIS radiance, the brighter it will SHINE out through me… and that’s what I need to aim for.
I want to Be the Light. I want to SHINE brighter this year.
2011. I’m gonna get my SHINE on!

So true and very good. I want to let my little light shine! Be Radiant with His glory and not my own being.

i love this, mo! you already reflect God’s heart so much, and i know your commitment to SHINE is just going to make that reflection even clearer.

Amen! This is actually something that God has been speaking to my heart as well. I cant do it on my own I need his spirit and strength to enable me.

Shine on girl! Shine on!

Shine Shine away!! I think you may underestimate yourself at times. I think there are times you don’t realize you are Shinning brightly, reflecting what God’s love is.
Happy New Year!!!!

Ride on MO, apart from Him we can’t do a dang thing (John 15:5) but as we stay “plugged in” to Him we have His power to shine on.

Let your light shine before others so that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven…
Shine is an awesome choice… Shine on!

God bless you and enable you to SHINE for Him – as you abide in Him! You gave a great word for the new year.
Love and prayers, Judi
