Twelve days into 2023. I’m in a mess of organizing, re-organizing, decluttering, and hauling a few piles to Goodwill. It’s good to do. I even sorted out some books to go find new homes. 🙂
I’m always reluctant to let books go, but the need for space demands a sorting! It makes me happy to hope someone else will make a new book discovery OR find an old beloved book friend to live on their shelves.
We get to begin the year with a Bible giveaway. I’m quite delighted as it feels like a great way to jump in.

Presence is my 2023 Word ; Psalm 16:11 NLT: You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of living with you forever.
Oh, thank you for sharing. This is a beautiful word and verse.
This year my word is TRUST–trust that God loves me, cares for me, watches over me, and has a plan for my life even when my plans don’t match His.
I love everything about this!
I have never done a focus word but I took the Dayspring quiz and it said my word should be Connection….I love the thought of building and strengthening connection and community, so maybe this is my year?
A lovely word and an anticipation of where it may lead!
no
I need to trust God more. Going through hard stuff currently and feel like this worlds falling apart. Found this site and signed up for more info. Really love the look of this Bible. Would love the chance to win one as well. Thank You.
Oh, yes! Trust and hope.
As we look back through history, this world has been falling apart again and again.
And God continues….to reign, to love, to send hope and peace, to care for us in the midst of our daily details. Hallelujah!
Praying His peace for you as you walk through hard things.
Maybe renew, we’ve just sold everything and moved back to live on my parent’s property to help build a chapel after my father passed away.
A good word for your season!
