1-1-11 - New

Everything about this new year feels fresh and pure and holy to me.  I'm not sure if it's because I've been dwelling on this whole 1/1/11 thing or what, but it feels good and hopeful.  And that is exciting!

Yesterday I said I would post my new word for 2011, so here it is...

29

Yes, my word for this year is a number!!  I love absolutely everything about this!  I love that God is that creative!  I love that He wants to stretch me in ways that surprise me.   For years now I have been aware of the number 29.  God has used it to assure me of His Presence in situations where I was apprehensive and uncomfortable.  He has used it to show me His love more times than I can remember.  So when I asked for my word for the year over and over again and every time I heard in my mind - 29 - I finally said "okay then, a number it is!"  Then last night when I was trying to go to sleep - actually very early this morning - it occurred to me that 2 + 9 = 11.  Now that is enough to put me over the edge on the "how cool is that?!!" meter.  I'm excited about this year!  I'm excited for 2/9/11 to get here!  I think it will be a day of something amazing!!  And it's a Wednesday!  Yes!

So there you have it.  If you received a word for the year and you cruise through here occasionally, please leave a comment and let me know your word.  I would love that.

Happy New Year!!
