This friends is going to be my word for 2015.

I must admit, I did not do so well with my 2014 word, I consider it a failure actually.

I have so many things that I feel I have failed at this year. The main thing is growth in everything. I have become complacent in a life that I am not happy with. How does that happen? How can you become stagnant in a situation you don't like? I want my own home again but yet, I have not done what needs to be done for that to happen. I keep myself and my family in a stressful and unhappy situation.

A situation that was supposed to be for one year has turned into 6 years. So this year HAS to be a year of changes.

That is where my word comes into play. FAITHFUL.

Not just in the biblical sense but in the life sense.

I am striving to be faithful in many things:
Faithful in being more
Faithful in noticing the little things
Faithful in making family a priority
Faithful in finding a church home
Faithful in my studying
Faithful in working
Faithful in staying organized
Faithful in not accepting anything less than succeeding

I know there will be many more things than these that I have listed but it is a start.

I know I am capable of more than I have been giving to my family and myself and it is time to be who I was destined to be.

I hope that this upcoming year brings all of you much success and many blessings in your life.
