Reach in 2014

I’ve been hearing a lot about choosing one word for the New Year. It is suppose to be a word you can focus on and to help keep you on track all year long. I’ve never chosen a word for a year before and one Saturday night I read this post byNicole Dean. It really made me think – what would my word for 2014 be? The next day at church I had my answer.

My pastor was teaching out of Philippians 3:13-14 during Sunday school.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.”

The word reach would not leave my mind. Even after we got home, ate lunch, and put the babies down for their naps, reach was still in the forefront of my mind. I knew the Lord was telling me – this is your word for 2014. Reach.
