The Give Project

Every year I ask God for a word for the year.  Last year my word was courageous.  Although a little out of my comfort zone - well, the truth is it was a lot out of my comfort zone - I learned valuable lessons from God.  Last year's word was a spring board for this year's word.
GIVE.  As I spent time with God asking how this word will work, He opened up endless possibilities.  I sometimes feel like I can't keep up with God and all He shows me. 
So on January 1st I started the GIVE project.  Every day I will give in some way.  This will take on many forms from words of encouragement to time and resources.  I am trying to daily be open to whatever possibility God has in store for me. 
I am amazed already.  One of the first things I have noted is that as I focus more on what God has in store for the day, the less I focus on me. 
I think I am in for a wild ride this year with all that God has is store for me.
