These are the ultra cool rocks my friends gave me for my birthday. They combine two of my favorite things - words and rocks. Every one of them has a word on it. I decided I would turn them all over and every day I flip one over and that's my word for the day. It's fun! You'd be surprised how many people have done the same thing when they come through the house. Apparently everyone likes to play with rocks.
It's that time of year again when I sit back and ask God for a word for the new year. Last year my word was "wisdom". It's been fascinating. I have done the whole striving-to-get-it thing by participating in the "Wising Up" study by Beth Moore with a group of women. But I've found the wisdom that I have gained deep within has come through experiencing life. The death of my mom has taught me so many things about myself, about life, about families and relationships. That one experience alone would fill up any year.
Anyway, this was just a reminder to start asking God to show you your word, if you do that sort of thing. I'd love to know about your word for this last year. Was it something that blew you away? Or did you even think twice about it? It might be cool to get your word and then forget about it and pull it out at the end of the year to see how and if it manifested in your life. Hey, this is between you and God and if you'd like to share I'd love to hear it.
