The BE Project – In a world where you can be anything…. What will you be?

Meet Wendy – her word for the 2023 BE Project is Joy

What word did you choose and why?

Joy

In July, I lost my dad unexpectedly. I’ve watched my mom decline during covid and now that I’ve lost my dad. That’s been hard because she is the strongest woman I know. I think Joy & Happiness are two very different things. The Bible is very clear “the joy of the Lord is our strength”. Right now I have moments of happiness… but I feel like I need to not focus on being happy, I need to focus on “the joy of the Lord is my strength”. Even though I may not feel happy, I still have Joy.

I’m working on this by making quiet time more of a habit. I work hard to focus on the good stuff. My husband does a great job of reminding me that the world isn’t falling apart. He’s good at reigning me back in and helping me keep things in perspective.

If you could go back and talk to a younger version of you – what would you tell her?

I would tell her that there is always something worth fighting for.

 

 

 

The BE Project with Beautiful Evolutions Photography

The BE Project was created in 2016.  Two crazy girls had an idea and it came to life on a napkin at lunch one day. They partnered with a local jeweler, Woolards Custom Jewelry and a beautiful necklace was created.  What began as a marketing campaign turned in to an annual photo project that has allowed people to share a word that is important to them and why that word guides them.  Each year, in January, the project opens back up for registrations.  One week is dedicated to photographing the incredible people that want to join us.  All images are black and white to keep from any distractions.  Just the human and their word.

Head over to THE BE Project page read some of the incredible stories that have been shared with us.
