Focusing on the word “Enjoy” this year has brought me to a place of reflection.

I am only able to truly enjoy my life because of deliverance.

There was a time when I would have never been able to focus on enjoying anything.

I lived a life full of worry and anxiety…to the point of being on anxiety medication in high school and college.

This morning as I was reflecting, I realized that I am far from that place now.

My days are not filled with worry.

My thoughts are not cluttered with anxiety.

And that is only because I have been delivered from those strongholds through God’s working in my life.

The journaling in this layout reads,

“I chose enjoy as my one little word for 2012 because I want to live my life to its fullest. I desire to live with a positive attitude, trusting completely in my Savoir and getting the most out of this glorious life He has given me. It is so easy to get bogged down in the monotony of being a wife, a mom, a teacher, and a homemaker that life can be boring. My thoughts can turn negative in the blink of an eye. But by focusing on enjoying this year and beyond, I will be able to rejoice in every role I have. I want to remember to take time to savor moments, to slow down and truly enjoy the gifts contained within each day I have.”

I am so thankful that I am at a place where savoring moments, slowing down, and enjoying the gifts that are contained within each day is a possibility.

I am so thankful that my thoughts are no longer clouded by worry and anxiety.

Enjoying life is a gift that I don’t take for granted.
