Ann Voskamp has the coolest printables!  Here’s one I fell in love with for the new year.  Get your copy over here.

 

EMBRACE – The Cross.  Always more of the cross.  The gospel.  I need it every day.

ENGAGE – Conversation.  I’m a people person, but I like my freedom and alone time.  I can be afraid to engage in conversation.  You know, beyond “how are you…”  “I’m fine…”.   Real, meaningful, life-investing conversation.

BE – Courageous.  In every aspect of my life.  I need courage… only with God holding my hand.

BELIEVE – I am capable.  To reach my goals… however big or small they may seem.  I can accomplish anything with Christ.

BREAK – Complacency.  Isn’t this one of the devil’s best tools?  No more… bye bye.

DAILY – Check ups.  I need to give myself daily physical, emotional, and spiritual check ups.  If not, a year goes by and you are 30 pounds heavier, burnt out, and missing the Lord’s whispers.

DO – Chores.  Like do some housework.  Anything.  I hate to clean.  The dust is winning…

LET GO – Of Checklists.  I feel good when I can check stuff off.  Lists are good, but sometimes you just have to crumple up that paper and throw it in the trash… and just live.

LEARN – To Deny Comfort.  I love to be comfortable.  There’s nothing like it!  It’s a gift that the Lord has given us.  I want to be able to willingly deny some of my comforts to bless someone else.  Do you know what I mean?  It might look like giving up the comfort of my own way, my own space, my own time.  Turning over “my own” for “His will” in my life.

LIVE – Confidently.  Sometimes we can second guess ourselves so much that we are frankly just driving ourselves mad! Walk in the Spirit and be confident with the decisions you and I make!  Be brave.

GIVE – Challengingly.  Take a risk!  Be bold!  I want to give wild and free in 2016 and watch God bless.

GROW – In Christ-Likeness.  If I want nothing more for 2016, it is to be more like Christ.  If I can reflect Him to others, it’s everything.
