Let it Go (and I'm not referring to the song!)

I asked God for a word for 2018.  A word that would define the way I live and give me a high bar to aim for: something that would stretch me and grow me.   He gave me two words.  One I believe is for my year.  The other is for this season but how long this season lasts I am unsure, but the lessons I have learned and am still learning will certainly follow me for the rest of my life.   The first word for the whole of 2018 is FEARLESS.  I almost laughed and cried at the same time when God showed me that. ...

I personally prefer more modern translations of the Bible as opposed to more traditional translations such as the King James Version or even the NKJV.  Of course I don't hold it against anyone who has preference to these versions of the Bible, but allow me to explain what versions I like to use and why.
