Overflow? wow that is a cool word and one I haven’t heard much. I love the imagery it creates and movement too. May 2018 overflow with blessings for you, Therese!

Listen is a great word – bursting with possibilities and lessons. I know just what you mean about the word choosing us. hard to explain to others but it often happens than way. Happy New Year to you too.

I agree, the Holy Spirit usually nudges me with gentle whispers….especially when I’m open to hear him. The words seem to choose me, not the other way around.
My word for the year? “Listen”–which fits well with some decisions I made recently. Doesn’t God always know? Happy New Year to you!

I have already been seeing how the word enough will weave its way in my life. Just stopping and reminding myself I have enough is great for impulse purchases. LOL. But knowing and living with the knowledge that God is enough is such a blessing – what an amazing God we have! I am so grateful. Glad you liked the resources. This is a favorite practice of mine that gives me insight and framework to my year. New year blessings, Nancy!

Living each day with that mindset will surely lead to peace, contentment, and joy in your spirit. I may be focusing on the word, “praise” for 2018. Thank you much for the resources you’ve included here. Must have missed them when you’ve shared them before. Or I simply forgot! 🙁

Been praying about that word too. I reviewed my journal just today for all my entries form 2017 and amazed how my 2017 word weaved itself throughout the year and I didn’t noticed some of the times. God is so good. blesses us at the moment and then in reflection too. Happy new year, Lisa!

Will watch for your word of the year soon. I wonder if it has something to do with Danny’s cooking? lol

I’ll look forward to seeing how God will work through “enough” this year. Both for you AND for us through you.

That is a perfect word, Jean! Definitely something we need to remind ourselves – we are enough in God’s eyes. My word for the year? I will reveal that in January. Sorry to keep you waiting, my friend!
Happy New Year!
