I was doing some blog-hopping a few months ago and came across the website OneWord365.com.
The website is based on the principal of picking one word to guide you for the New Year. It challenges you to pick a word that has personal meaning for YOU, not your neighbor, and not your BFF...YOU!
More information can be found on their lovely website.
I have been thinking of my word for a few weeks now and to be honest I have been struggling with it. Nothing was waving at me saying "Here I am.. I am your word!!". After much prayer and pondering I was sitting in traffic the other evening behind a Ford Explorer and since then I could not get the word Explore out of my mind.
This word just is not "Me" in so many ways that at first i didn't acknowledge that this was what I had been praying for. Surely God knows that I am comfy with who I am, I am not an adventurer by nature. I prefer things to be calm and unchanging for the most part. I tend to be a homebody who is happy curled up on the sofa with a good book rather than out with others most nights. Why on earth would He keep showing me the word Explore? Surely there is another word that I need to incorporate more in my life. Maybe Faith, Compassion, or Enjoy? What is so special about the word Explore??
Since I am learning to be more faithful to what He tells me and I know that He knows that I need to get out of this comfort zone in order better myself for Him, I am simply going with it. Thankfully He has given me the gracious gift of loving to learn so I am looking forward to see where this word takes me.
Here is what the dictionary says about the word Explore.
4. Obsolete . to search for; search out.
------------------------------------------
Romans 12:2 says:
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
It is time for me to be transformed and to renew my mind and through exploring I know I can accomplish this.
Here are some of the ways I will strive to put my word to use in 2013:
- Explore my thoughts.
- Explore my life.
- Explore my health.
- Explore deeper into Faith
- Explore my marriage.
- Explore my family.
- Explore my surroundings.
- Explore everything possible for the next 365 days.

the only way a capitalist can control schooling is if it's owned from the government very first. and then influencing? the government inside a way that destroys edu. capitalists Are not evil they may be individuals only acting on self interest. if every single individual who acts on self interest was evil we would all be to some extent evil. when sources including food/water is scarce we all act with self interest for your explanation of self preservation. as can be a capitalist/mompop business owner actin on self preservation.

supermans weakest incarnation base strength is 800000 tons .
ReplyDeletehulks strongest future versions base strength is 150tons and that
1 had been doused by extra amounts of radiation and he completely handed
hulk hid ass. ho would u say the 70 ton pumping
proffesor hulk will win. also the current superman is way stronger he can go planets hod black holes with one particular arm.
hes taken a punch from flash who when at complete speed
shunted his MASS to infinity and still was up, albeit shaken badly.
if hulk tries to tank that hes lifeless.also hulk may be killed inside a battle towards crimson hulk he was impaled.
next superman can shatter planets with blows carry things and constructs that are far bigger and denser than earth.
also note superman holds again substantially. he's CONFIRMED as becoming exceeding darkseid's strength substantially, even darkseid admits its due
to the fact of superman self restraint. plus supermans heat vision
has evapourated massive bodies of waters in seconds and
hes also frozen rivers in seconds as well. NOW To be HONEST HULK IS F***NG STRONG
But just before he reaches supermans level it woud be more than.
also i beieve hulks limitless strength doesnt make sense he absorbed a limited level of energy and gained limitless power.
the power he absorbed isnt shut to a sun. so i do belive hes
strength has an upper limit
