Sometimes it takes awhile to get the right word! I kept going back and forth with my 2021 word before I finally decided. 🙂

Yes, “rest” sounds like it was a very appropriate word for you, Wemi. And it doesn’t matter which month God sends our word to us, we take it. 🙂 I love all the ways it applied to your life, right where you were. And I also love how it’s propelling you into a new year of going forward with God. I look forward to the wisdom that you’ll glean from your new word and the ways you’ll share it! So glad you’ve joined our community.

Yay! I’m so glad you’re joining in with us, Lesley. I look forward to seeing how “Faithful” will play out in your life. God always teaches me things through other people’s words as well as my own. 🙂

Wow–we all needed “persevere” as our word in 2020! What an apt choice you made. And to do a verse-by-verse study through James was a great connecting point to it. Thanks for sharing this!

It was ‘Rest’ – funnily enough, I didn’t get the word until June this year which might seem a bit late for aword of the year but I had been ill prior to that and one could say my year didn’t ‘start’ properly until midway through this year. I was also recovering from burnout so ‘Rest’ as my word for this year was very appropriate (Matt 11:28). Firstly, for physical rest and secondly to learn to lean into and rest in God (I try to do too many things in my own strength – cue the burnout and illness). For my word for 2021, I’ve been pondering ‘Arise’ or ‘Flourish’ – something along those lines. Having spent much of this year focussed on rest, 2021 seems to be the year to arise and do with God. Still reflecting on it. I’m going to join your accountability group – thanks for this post, it was just the nudge I needed. Hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year in advance! x

It’s a word that’s been going round in my mind for over a month now and I’m looking forward to reflecting on it some more.

Yes, it’s very bittersweet reading her book, hearing her podcasts, and for me, personally her What’s App voicemails. I miss Shelly so much. I rejoice in the certainty she is with her Savior!

Tx for your take on the word repetition. I”ll pray about it. My problem is that I don’t think I’ve lived into my word fully.

Merry Christmas!
Lynn
I’m glad you could read her book. It’s timely given your word. When you live with uncertainty, it makes your security in Christ all the sweeter, and uncertainty, you might consider could be an adventure.

God continued to impress the word “persevere” into my heart in a variety of ways and it was the word for 2020. As a result, I decided to study the book of James throughout the year and am continuing to go through verse by verse. It’s been amazing!

I still don’t have a clear direction for my word this coming year.

Merry Christmas!

Tammy

Oh, I love hearing this backstory, Donna. It sounds exactly like something I would do…begging God for a word that he’s been flashing in neon lights all around me all along. ha. I’d feel very confident that “joy” should be your word! 🙂
