Quote of the Day: For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
Aren’t those beautiful words? Do you believe them? They give me so much hope.
The past few years, some friends and I have chosen a word or phrase for the New Year. Last year, it was Open. I was indeed open to new adventures and possibilities. My sister Joy and I opened Primo Art Spa. I was open to more students, varied writing assignments, and events. I was open to looking at things in a new way. I love being open!
And, now, for the words for 2014…….drum roll, please……..
The Word for 2014
Prosper and Fun!
Both words kept popping into my head, and I thought, “Can you both prosper and have fun?” I say, “Yes.” It certainly will be fun to prosper in: my piano studio, my home life, my love life, my writing endeavors, my sense of adventure, my other relationships. Why not? God said it right there in Jeremiah 29:11, “I have plans for you to prosper.” OK, God, lead the way. I’m still open!

Journaling Prompt: What’s your word or phrase for 2014?
Happy New Year Mary! I chose two words also, but yours sound like more fun than mine. Mine are Organize and Declutter. I wish you the best in 2014:)
Usually I set the list of goals/resolutions but this year, like you, I felt called towards a phrase: Fear Not. Time to march forward in courage and see what doors open!
Now you’ve got me thinking… which is a good thing!
I plan on getting my short story collection out sometime this year… scary thought… so maybe my two words would be ONWARD & UPWARD!
And that just popped into my mind now… plus I do like the sound of those words… thank you Mary!
Wishing you a happy, peaceful and prosperous 2014, Mary!

Wow. You can’t imagine how much I needed to read those words today. ^_^
Great words! I love it.
Oh, and that Jeremiah verse is one of my favourites.
I so dig Jeremiah. Here is to a great year.
