Happy New Year - Word Revealed

January 1, 2013.  Wow.  That seems so crazy to me.  I remember being a little girl thinking the year 2000 sounded so dreamy and far away.  Unreachable.  And here we are 13 years into it.

My word for 2012 was Hope.  That is a good word.  Hope is a good thing.  I know I gained more hope and hopefully I gave hope to others last year.  There is always hope because absolutely anything is possible.  Anything.

Every time the sun rises it feels like hope rises too.  And a brand new year - let's talk about hope!

One Monday I was at my friend Latimer's for Creative Monday.  There were 3 of us sitting at the dining room table doodling.  When we were finished we realized all 3 of us had doodled "hope".  That was very cool.  (Mine's on top)

Hope has been my constant companion all year and I am so thankful.  I fully intend for it to stay with me my whole life. I am not through with hope nor will I ever be through with it.  Old things pass away and that is a good thing - but hope never gets old - it's new every morning.




But now it's 2013 and I've asked for a whole new word.  And true to His character with me - Holy Spirit answered me quite promptly and then proceeded to keep haunting me with it until I "got" it.  My new word for 2013 is "Write".   Funny thing about it is that every time I think about it I also see "right".  So I'm going with Write/Right.  Or maybe it's write right or write about right.  We will see.  It's only day one - so much more to be peeled back and revealed.  I love the process these words put me through.  Sometimes it's profound and sometimes it's subtle and sometimes I get completely blasted.  I just love it.

So do you ask for a word too?  If so, I'd love to know what it is.  Who knows, I just may doodle it.  (when I'm not writing, haha!)  Wow cool things just came to mind.  Already this word is very interesting.

Happy 2013!
