intentional living, little by little

{recording life} My Word for 2012: Dream

{via}

Do you choose a word to guide your year?  After some prayer and a lot of thought, I’ve decided on DREAM.  For awhile, I have been “in the trenches” so to speak when it comes to motherhood.  With multiple little ones seeking my attention for feeding, playing, diaper changes, baths, you name it…well, I really didn’t have the time to think of anything else. 

The past six months or so have been different. I feel like I’ve hit my stride when it comes to balancing motherhood and my home. Sure, some days are more difficult than others, but for the first time in a long time, I feel like I can glance out to the future…and dream.


I have dreams for making a difference in this big world. I have dreams for my little family. I have dreams of moving to a new town into a home that will be ours forever. This year, I want to dream big dreams…allow myself to put it all out there and see what God has in store for me. I’m excited to see where He leads.


What is your word for 2012?

    If I had to choose a word it would be Hope.

    Hope for only good things for the future, especially for my oldest who has an ASD.
