My One Little Word of 2018

Does this happen to anyone else: You hear a word and then keep hearing that same word over and over again? I was talking to a guy friend about the most random thing and I used the word patina in our conversation. He said he heard that word for the first time the day before when he was watching Fixer Upper with his son {yep, the Fixer Upper love spans all generations!}. I've been thinking on my one little word of 2018 for a few weeks now. The same word keeps popping up and today as I was having my quiet time and I think I finally settled on it. My word is delegate.

One word of the year

Last year, I selected one little word for the year. It was the word intent. I surprised myself that I thought about that word often and was reminded of it several times throughout the year. I love the word intent and long to remain intentional in my actions this new year, but it's a new year, and I wanted to add a new word for me to focus on this year. 

It was only fitting that the perfect word came to me as I was sitting in church this past week.

My one little word: intent

I've seen lots of bloggers chose one little word for the year, but I have never done it myself. 

I actually had a word to focus on when I went to Africa this summer {excess} and I thought that I would chose one little word to focus on this year.  Not so much as a resolution but as a way to live. I started seeing these one little words pop up through my instagram and blog feeds and I was trying to pin the perfect word down. A word that I knew I could work with and that would inspire me to think and change.   I spent time on Ali Edwards blog reading people's OLW choices and none of them stuck out to me like Steph's from Crafting in the Rain .  She picked the word intent and I immediately knew that that was my one little word for the year.
