Huh...

I was going through my blog archives to see what word I chose for last year's one word choice.

I stumbled on this post where I talked about the things I wanted in a house.

Two things Jeff promised me when we bought a house:

1. A Red Door
2. A Portable Office in the Back

Guess what two things the new house has? That's right, a red door and a portable building in the back for my office. The portable building looks like a barn but is now painted blue, I bet you can't guess what color I plan to paint it?

That right, red. Like a barn

And since I am on strick orders not to post any pictures of the house or give away any other information on the house unil we move, you will just have to trust me on this.

I promise one day very soon, I will post pictures.

Oh and last year's word was authentic.

One Little Word 2009

Every year Ali Edward's chooses a word that she and her family will focus on during the year. I love this and so I have chosen to join in again this year.

This year my word is delight.

What does it mean to delight? And how does this to apply to my everyday life?

Delight
Main Entry: 1de·light
Pronunciation: \di-ˈlīt, dē-\
Function: noun
Date: 13th century
1: a high degree of gratification : joy ; also : extreme satisfaction
2: something that gives great pleasure
3archaic : the power of affording pleasure

One of my goals for this year is to memorize more scripture. I found one verse constantly coming into my daily life, Psalms 37. As I started to look at Psalms 37, one word seemed to stand out. That word was Delight.

Two key verses I have tried to apply to my life this past year.

1. Psalms 37: 4

"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires."

2. Psalms 37: 23

"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives."

In 2009, I am choosing to delight in the Lord. I believe that by doing this I will also be more trusting of where He is leading us. And by knowing that God is leading, I will gratified, filled with joy and at peace.

My goals for 2009 are simple, I want to delight in the everyday joys of life.

Delight in God and His plans for us.

Delight in the blessings He is sending to us on a daily basis.

Delight in our story being written in every single moment of our lives.
