No party for me but Kate said…

It’s a question I’ve been asking myself ever since the big ball dropped Sonday night. Why do I write? Why do I do what I do?
I search my heart and my mind, left or right side? Not sure. That left side with the logic and that right side with the creativity. I actually am quite confident that the two are well balanced. But back to the motivation.
God has planted a great sense of responsibility in me – a responsibility to speak truth at all times. He graciously dropped THREE words in my spirit for 2018.
Diligent | Steadfast | Truth
Those are my motivators for 2018. I am MOTIVATED to be diligent and steadfast to speak truth. Truth in the secret places. Truth in the open places. Truth. No sugar-coated mamby-pamby stuff – BOLD TRUTH.
What motivates YOU? Do share.

Great post!
Com’on tell the truth – you love that typewriter image!!!
Susan, these three words go together so well! They really need to be what we all do for all days >>> proclaim diligent and steadfast truth. God’s truth.
Feel the weight of great responsibility this year.
Great words! We all need to be diligent and steadfast in living and proclaiming truth with compassion. Blessings to you, dear Susan! I still need to write my post. I missed the twitter party, too. 🙂
With compassion – remind me, ok? I can be harsh and hard. UGH
We can remind each other. 🙂
We can and we WILL.
Oh, I like those words for 2018. Mine is hope – still to be unpacked for the meaning. Which is the point of having a word for the year, isn’t it!
HOPE? Ah, my LIFE WORD. I even wrote a book! 31 Days of Hope. Worth the read. Thanks for visiting!
I think it’s wonderful when God whispers those words – specific, meaningful and even motivating – to each one of us. The words spoken to our hearts might be different….but they are very personal and are, no doubt, just the motivation we need to head into 2018 with our Savior! Thanks for sharing your words –
Happy New Year!!
Jennifer I just read your 5 minutes on motivate and you thought of others. Blessed to read your words.
The way, the truth and the life! 🙂
The ONLY way. The ONLY truth. The ONLY life.
Good, strong words that will guide you right. What wonderful thoughts to start your year with. May it be a good one for you. – Lori, FMF #32
Good and strong I like that!
Those are such GREAT words, my friend! I can’t wait to see how they unfold before you this year! xoxo
Hope it’s a good one.
Great words – sometimes it’s hard to decipher our own motivations. I like truth as a motivator for writing though.
Oh yes, Denise. Truth is the only Way!
Love this! I took a quite similar take on the prompt and ended up with three words too! I just love that. 😀
Oh I must come over and see, Jena.
Susan, those are three great words! I have decided I am motivated to continue with Hope and Joy; though I may do something completely different for part of it; make an art journal using those words…NO, I am not an artist; but using lettering, or quotes I find; or anything with those words, and create some sort of “art” on the pages of this little book I had already started!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I am motivated to continue writing during 2018! And, reading more of what my blogging friends are sharing!!
Barb, I love the art journal idea and you are so creative with that stuff!
Susie
I’m glad to hear the weather has warmed and very much enjoyed your blog this morning. The word that I seem to hear is TRUST.
God is in control. I will praise Him in all things.
Wishing you a Blessed day!
PS Love the pictures of game fun!
