Making Much of Jesus in 2016

If we have never been tested with the choice of “keep your life or keep Christ- you can’t keep both”, how can we know that we know that we know that we value HIM above all else?
In 2016, I want to learn how to make much of Christ. I want to value HIM above all else. But in order to do that, I need to make less fuss over me. With that in mind, my word for the year is LESS. Each month I will focus on a different aspect of life. Open up that part of me and lay it before Christ. See what He has to show me and teach me in putting HIM above all else.
The areas I plan on looking at are:
   Me, myself and I
   Stuff (good, bad and otherwise)
   Time Wasters
   Money (how I spend and what I spend on) 
   Food
   Entertainment
   Social media/marketing
   Attitude
   My “rights”
   Distractions (not just by bad things)
   Religious and spiritual activity
   Busyness / noise
   Work
When we don’t have to give up anything (not our homes, 
riches, jobs, belongings, etc) to follow Jesus, 
how do we KNOW we value Christ above all?  
I will be sharing this journey with you here on my blog on Tuesdays, on social media throughout the week and in my monthly newsletter. I challenge you to examine your own life along the way with me. Together, lets make much of Christ this year!

Do you have a word for the year? Or some goals and resolutions? I want to hear what is stirring in your heart for 2016. Please share in the comments below.
