In this episode of Weekly Planning for Christian Moms, we’re diving into the transformative practice of choosing a Word of the Year! If you’ve ever wondered what it means, why it matters, or how to choose one that resonates with your season of life, this episode is for you.
What You’ll Learn:
- What is a Word of the Year? A simple yet powerful focus to guide your mindset and decisions throughout the year.
- Why Have One? How a Word of the Year can bring clarity, purpose, and alignment with God’s plan for your life.
- My Reflection from Last Year: A look back at the words God gave me in 2024 and how they impacted my journey.
Reflection Questions to Ask God:
- What are You asking me to put down in each area of my life?
- What are You asking me to pick up in each area of my life?
(Remember: You can’t pick up something new without putting something down. Adding without subtracting leads to overwhelm!)
Exciting News:
- My husband and I are hosting our first-ever yearly planning, goal-setting, and vision-casting day as a couple! Tune in to hear how we’re seeking the Holy Spirit’s guidance for the year ahead.
- I’ll also reveal my Word of the Year for 2025 and share how I plan to let it shape my days and decisions.
Your Homework: Take some time to reflect on the questions above. Pray and ask God to reveal a Word of the Year that aligns with the plans He has for you.
