I have talked to God a lot this year about pleasing Him. I have a people-pleasing bent and He has been revealing it to me in the gentle way that He does. I sense we will be unpacking how I can please Him with my faith and fill that desire so that I don't spend exhaustive amounts of energy trying to please people when that was never my job.

When I pick a word for the year instead of a list of resolutions it simplifies my goals. It helps me focus on one thing. There is power in that focus.
