Instead of like last year when I just randomly picked a word I liked and thought I could make it work, I chose to sit down and spend some time deciding on the year for 2017.
It was a process for me as I searched word of the year on Google and Pinterest. I started this process with some simple blog posts:

So what is word for 2017?

The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. - Psalm 92:12
And to help me make sure I use this word through out the year I have found some tools:

What's your word for 2017? What made you choose that word?
