I think it’s so fantastic that you and your husband talked about this and chose words together, Janet! Thank you for sharing your very thoughtful word choices for 2013…I hope to hear more as these words take on greater meaning as the months pass! God bless you and your dear family…Xxoo

My husband and I have each chosen one word for 2013. Just in discussion as we spoke of this, he chose the word Alive. I have chosen the word Promise. This past year has been a year of many prays, some that are still unanswered. but also many that have been been fulfilled. As we prepare for our 50th Anniversary this year I shared with him that our commitment and our legacy is a alive promise that is still being lived out and is only because of the restoration and the Love of Jesus Christ. I truly look toward to this year as a year of promise for all that are in our hearts and for those that are yet to know the love that we have to share. May quietness and confidence continue to be our strength.

I will try Les Miserables.

I have been thinking and thinking about your post here – looking for one word. Today, I know what for me that word must be.
With the shooting in Connecticut hardly off our news-screens, the protests over gang rape in India still raging, and the breaking news of fatwa issued in Saudi Arabia for the gang rape by soldiers of Syrian women and girls, I know my word for 2013 must be Ahimsa. If it sounds too unfamiliar, then let that be ‘gentleness’.

In reply to sue raimo. Thank you Sue! I like that quote, and I agree. The older I get the less I know and am sure of, yet my faith in Christ never wanes. I feel like His mysteries deepen, His ways can baffle me, but He is the One for me. He's the One for you too, I know. :) I look forward to seeing you soon, dear friend! xxoo

Happy New Year Julie. I have had a word focus for the last 10 years. I was stuck on Kingdom for 4 of them. This year I debated between Mystery and Faith. I chose Faith after reading this quote: “I have fewer certitudes now, just naked faith.”

Jewel my word would be HIM. I would like to have a small rock with that word etched deeply into it to carry in my pocket. Those days when it seems that I am focused on everything BUT Him, I could reach in my pocket, feel the smooth edges and forget for a time life’s jagged ones, trace the letters with my fingers and bring my focus back to Him and tightly grab that rock, so firm and solid and remember my foundation is not shifting sand.
