Dearly Beloved,
Earlier this week someone sent me their initial reflections on their star word -- they inspired me to share some of my reflections with you.
MOTIVATION. That's my word for this year, and to be honest, I wasn't so sure about it at first. Turns out, the more I think and reflect on it, the more it's growing on me.
So: what does motivation mean?
The first definition to appear in my online search is: "the reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way." The second is: "the general desire or willingness of someone to do something."
And those definitions got me thinking:
And this gets me thinking about how my star word connects to our collective life together?
Well, the wheels are certainly turning! I hope that you have a chance to spend some time reflecting on your star word. Who knows what will come up as you do!
This Sunday, following worship is our annual congregational meeting -- it's a chance to reflect on where we've been and where we're heading. A chance to celebrate all that we have shared and all the ways we've grown this last year. I hope you'll be there!
With love and blessings,
Thandiwe
