As my journey progresses into all the revelations of how pursue, my word for the year, applies, I pray you will find applications for your life as well. Today I’m exploring how God pursues us. Tax collectors and sinners were all crowding around to listen to Jesus. So the Pharisees and the teachers of the …
As I look for a verse or two, to provide the biblical foundation for my word for the year, I’ve come across a nuance of two words which can be used similarly. Pursue and seek. Pursue is the word the Spirit has given me, yet the scriptures I’m drawn to use the word seek. Let …
Believe it or not I’ve been thinking about my word for next year, and as I recall it was this time last year that I found my word for this year. That has me thinking that for me God wants my year to start in September. Who am I to argue? This year’s word has …
Make Room is the second song on my playlist for 2025. I shared the first song, Made for More in my post about my word for 2025 - MORE. The thread that connects these two songs is a desire for God to be more present in my life. The lyrics, “I will make room for …

Looking Forward, Looking Back and Written are the two posts where I introduce my One Word for this past year and the next. In them I give my supporting scriptures and I even had a song this year. But since you are probably too busy to read these, I’ll summarize. This year’s word was Fresh—fresh …
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, And a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105 KJV At the end of each year, I listen expectantly for a word from the Holy Spirit for the coming year. Why? What is the purpose of a word for the year? One word can be an anchor, a …
I’m starting to listen what my word for next year will be and the first contender that came to mind was the word: written. The scriptures that came with it are as follows: See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands... Isaiah 49:16 NLT (Some translations say engraved or transcribed.) …
For the past five or six years I’ve had a word for the year, a word to help me see God working in my life. Last year‘s word was ABUNDANCE. I found that abundance can show up in many different ways; ways I was not necessarily imagining. I expected an abundance of joy. I did …
