Undertaking

I'm sure all of you are dying to know what word I chose for my theme for 2010. (And by all of you, I mean my one follower so far, my husband.) I thought about using words like "discipline", "prayer", and "gratitude". But after deliberating for a few days I chose "love".

There are two verses that came to mind that sealed the deal on love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 and Matthew 22:35-39. If love is one of the greatest concepts in the Bible then I'd better take a closer look at it.

To me this feels like a huge undertaking. How in the world do you wrap your mind around love? And by love, I mean real love. Not the word we throw around on t-shirts about New York.

I'm glad I have a year because it's not going to be an easy task. I have a lot of Bible digging to do, and I've got to put into action the things I'm learning. But what a great concept. I'm hoping to come out of 2010 a better wife, sister, daughter, friend, and neighbor. So at the end of each month I'm planning to post an entry about something new I've learned about love to keep me on track with this feat.

Let me know if you like this one word concept as much as I do and tell me your one word theme for 2010.
