Naming My Year…

Almost three months into 2012 and I have finally determined my name for the year…“Patient Trust.” 

Back in December I shared about 2011 being my year of stability and my desire to name my 2012…HERE.  All this was inspired by my friend Daphne’s blog post, “Choosing to Name Your Year.” 

Well, better late than never, I guess?!

A couple weeks ago I stumbled upon these words of reflection and encouragement on “Patient Trust”…HERE. These words have stuck with me ever since. In my posture of seeking and attentiveness to God at work in my life, I tend to be pretty impatient with myself. At times, I have a hard time with unanswered questions and formation in process in my life. I’d much rather skip the waiting and just cut to the chase.

I’m not sure where these current stirrings of my heart, mind and soul will lead. I am uncertain how these stirrings will deepen my formation and vocation this 2012. But, I desire to seek and wait in a posture of “Patient Trust.” I also hope to live this posture of patient trust in my relationships and accompaniment with others this coming year.

This is my hope and prayer for 2012!
