My word for this year and every year is Jesus. There is nothing that resounds louder in my heart. Jesus overcame all the terrible things I went thru as a kid, teenager, and bride to 3 husbands, abusive all. Everytime I needed help, Jesus was there. So Jesus has been, is, and will be always my word no matter what else might be going on in my life. Jesus is my word.

I love your clarity and your focus! In many ways, our word reflects our lived experience and what we hold dear. Sounds like Jesus is the perfect word for you! :)

I haven’t decided on my 2024 word yet (I’ve picked a word for quite a few years now) but I’m considering “abundance “. I’m acutely aware of so many areas of lack in my life, so maybe this word would help me focus on the abundance God has already provided.

I love this! Such a beautiful reminder of how we can learn from our Father and the perfect love he offers. We can imitate him as you did:) I am reminded my love may need a tuneup!!
