"The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion — to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair."~from ISAIAH 61 Bible verse for this Blog

APOLOGY to READERS who followed a SEARCH to HERE & didn't find it

On July 18, 2017, I drafted almost 3000 blog posts that I had published since 2008 when I began blogging, rather than edit each one. So if you clicked here from somewhere else and ended up with the post unavailable or error, I am sorry but this is why. It'd be too much work for me to go back and fix them. There's an explanation on 7/19/17 as I'm still learning.

ONE WORD

{sorry, but for some reason many of my images are not showing}

IT'S A NEW THING!
{at least it was, but not anymore}

Better than any resolution making
(at least for me)

Each year 

FOCUS 
on


*My One Word
{which is best explained in either of these places}

My One Word

One Word

<><><>

so back in
2016
 there was a
CHANGE
(see 2016 below)
A CHANGE of pace for me

{I found this new ONE WORD site... and so I'm doing this according to their plan}


There's  another great community for support
with

<><><>

and 

of course, there's Bonnie Gray's 2014 link-up for

sharing of your
Faith Barista

I'm sure she has one for 2016 too and each year

My One Words:

PRESENCE

JESUS

{not sure if it's ...With JESUS or JESUS first ... or only - JESUS}

[from Gateway Church]


but

Always With Jesus

2022

mine with Jesus 
and then others

2021 WORD

STRENGTH
(be strong)

[*the photo image of Valentines are on the White House lawn, February 2021]

My Verse
Isaiah 40:31

<><><>

2020 WORD

PROMISES




mostly God's Promises to me (us)
and
Praying His Promises

<><><>

My 2019 Word
EMBRACE




<><><>
My
2018
One Word

iBelieve



of course the One Word is BELIEVE not iBelieve
however
 this makes it more personal and I'm owning it,
 If a website 
{that I frequent and love}
can name themselves this,
I figure I can use it also that way
perhaps it was their site and Daily Prayer
that influenced my choice
yet
i Believe
it's really connected to my
One Word
from
2017
(so I can continue on this work in progress)
because 
I'm pretty sure I heard God
whisper and then shout
BELIEVE
at me
and
for me and you
just
BELIEVE
and
WALK
in what you claim to
BELIEVE

<><><>


2017
so far the Lord seems to have laid

HEALING

is on my heart for my

ONE WORD


after spending the first 40 days in Prayer

I hope to decide or have this confirmed
yet this is the verse 

that came to me


Philippians 3:13

<><><>

2016
ONE WORD

I'm deciding between



Hoping to BE CHANGED or see CHANGE or just BE

MY ONE WORD
for
2014

{already chosen or given by God back in Sept 2013}

Can you find the hidden images for HOPE?

HOPE
for 
2014


MY HOPE


You can do a "search" on my blog for HOPE and find all the many posts related to MY ONE WORD and how God is showing me more about HOPE every day in 2014. 

In 2015, I came upon this excellent book by Pastor Rene Schlaepfer (but there's not a Kindle version however I found it online): The Hope Experience "50 days of Hope" (Week 1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) "What is the Hope Experience?" and "Hope Projects" {similar to mine on another Page here}. I just did not want to miss out on any experience in HOPE. This is a great addition to my 2014 One Word and I needed to preserve this book/study to read or go to when I need to stir up my HOPE. Just wish I had known about this back in 2014 but as I wrote, I don't think God or I am done with My One Word HOPE (now or back then), there is always room for more HOPE and encouraging others to HOPE
