My Monday book giveaway is Hell in a Briefcase by Phil Little with Brad Whittington
My Thursday book giveaway is A Girl’s Best Friend by Kristin Billerbeck.
You can still enter both giveaways. On Monday, I'll draw the winner for the Hell in a Briefcase and post the title for another book I'm giving away.

Fear God. My word for the year is “fear” of the Lord.
I got this fabulous idea from Marilynn Griffith. She picks a word for the year in January.
Last year, I prayed and God laid on my heart that my word was “persevere.” NOT a very comforting word for the year, but it proved apt with some of the stresses I had that year.
This year, it’s fear of the Lord. The past few months, I’ve been convicted that I take God for granted. It’s become especially obvious as I read the Old Testament and see God’s mighty power and holiness.
In my Bible in 90 Days, I’m on day 35 and I’m in the Psalms.
I came across a verse that seemed to speak to me on my word for the year:
The Lord is a friend to those who fear him,
He teaches them his covenant.
Psalm 25:14 (NLT)
I like the contrast and combination of those two words, friend and fear. It’s almost as if those two words are too paradoxical, but I think it’s in the Bible to show God’s majesty and fierce love for us.
How about you? Any word for the year?

Great insights here. I love it. Mine was "peace" this year. :)

This year I'm thinking it's "patience," with four kids, a deployed Dhand getting him home, and then trying to get my 1st MS ready for agents takes a lot--added ontop of the rest of my life.
(referring to little David as he prepared to fight Goliath and Saul lent him armor).
I blogged about what that means to me over at Faithchicks a few days ago.
BLESSINGS!

I like your word though...I always think of "awe" and "reverence" instead of fear because of the other connotations to the word. Perhaps I'll have to think about this more!
