Random Thoughts with Tanya

I know a lot of people who start the year out with a new word. I was asked at the beginning of this year to think about what I wanted my word of the year to be. Several months later I still don’t have a word. I do have a motto that I try to live by and that is to be better today than I was yesterday. I am an over thinker and trying to think of one word is so difficult for me, but spending time reflecting on my own thoughts is something I do quite well. I tend to always try and look at what I did yesterday or today to make tomorrow different or better. It says in Matthew 6:34 “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” I would say for the most part I am very much at peace about what tomorrow brings, but the thinker in me wants to do better tomorrow and analyze my past so I can be better in the future.

What goes into coming up with a word of the year? How do you know what word is your word?

My goal is to really pray for this upcoming year and what a word for 2024 will be. There are so many things coming in this new season to bring inspiration. Some things will be quieting down while other things will be just picking up.
