I was expectant. I believed that God was going to do something. Six months in, while God had done some work. I knew that I had hidden in invisibility and it hindered me knowing that I was Beloved. Even as I wrote my wrap up post for OneWord 2011 I could tell there was still something in me believing: I don't think I really know what being Beloved is.
And the last few days of 2011, Jesus overwhelmed me. Among thousands of others at Onething2011, I encountered Jesus. I know He loves me in a whole new way. Psalm 139 being the powerful words my heart needed to hear.
I had the word dream on my mind for 2012 before I left for Kansas City. To dream with Jesus about going to the darkest places and bringing the kingdom. Interceding and talking about the creative ways that Yahweh wants to bring redemption. Dream is still on my heart and I'm so ready to dream with Him. But on the trip back, I had this fire in my chest and my belly. There were fifty people around me on the bus but all I could think about was Jesus. I want the fire of my love for Jesus to grow, so my second word for 2012 is burn.
Ooo...I am so pumped for 2012!

oo! i love BURN! so, so, so, so good. might be my second favorite to mine.
