Word for the year 2017: Faithfulness

Over the years I have often seen Word of the year posts and wondered what it would be like to have a word of the year. I considered the word commitment until I looked up the definition: The act of committing; a sending to prison ... I decided that that was definitley not a word to have for the year ahead. I have been thinking about this for the last week and after some meditation I have chosen the word Faithfulness.


Faithfulness
FA'ITHFULNESS, noun
  1. Fidelity; loyalty; firm adherence to allegiance and duty; as the faithfulness of a subject.
  2. Truth; veracity; as the faithfulness of God.
  3. Strict adherence to injunctions, and to the duties of a station; as the faithfulness of servants or ministers.
  4. Strict performance of promises, vows or covenants; constancy in affection; as the faithfulness of a husband or wife.

Synonyms for faithfulness noun devotion adherence
  • adhesion
  • ardor
  • attachment
  • care
  • constancy
  • dependability
  • trustworthiness
  • truth
This year these are the things I want to be reminded of.  I have had a few things I want to remain faithful to:
  • Blogging Regularly
  • Sticking to Trim Healthy Mama 
  • Exercise Regularly
  • Support Fellow Bloggers
1 Corinthians 4:2
Moreover, it is required of stewards that a man be found faithful.

Do you have a word for the year ahead? If so what is your word ? 
Blessings

Meet a Homeschool blogger to Follow for the new year

It's a new year and time to meet new homeschool bloggers and reacquaint myself with some old friends. I can't believe this will be my fifth year with the Homeschool Review Crew and my second year serving on the leadership team.  I'm a visual person and as such love blog buttons.  Over the past month I have collected a few buttons from Homeschool Mom's and Dad's who are sharing their home educating journey's with us.

Meet a Homeschool Blogger

I love how different each and everyone on them are,  some are home educating veterans, some are new home educators, some love books, some love art all are beautiful and unique.  I invite you to grab a cup of your favorite beverage and come and find some home school blogs to add to your favorites.
