Word of the Year {2017} and a Giveaway Package Collaberation

Posted on by Deborah

  I’ve long seen posts about a “Word for the Year” and enjoyed reading them. But this is the first year I’ve had a word at the beginning of a new year.

 As I was preparing my spiral for SSMT Scripture memory and searching for verses, the theme Steadfast emerged and though I had never “officially” chosen a word for the year before, there it was. My 2017 word. I so desire to stand solidly on Christ my Rock, despite circumstances, hurts, fears, SELF! To stand sure in His salvation and love for me.

 Steadfast.

So many areas in my life where I desire that deep down steady abiding that becomes more constant, more enduring. Resolute and sure. Fixed on that solid Rock. A wholehearted, unfaltering faithfulness.

I love all of the beautiful creations from @creativecarmella and when I saw her beautiful custom paintings featuring your one word, I was smitten.

It was definitely happy mail when it arrived in my mailbox last week!

I’m thrilled with this visual reminder and “touchstone of remembrance”.

………………………………………………………………

Today, I have a giveaway package of some favorites!

Creative Carmella and Sew a Fine Seam are joining me in putting together this giveaway.

THANK-YOU so much, Jill and Carmella! I love getting to offer favorites.

I love my grace like waves necklace! {last summer, we did a giveaway for one of these necklaces and a Grace like Waves pillow from SAFS.} It’s long over, but you can go look at the pictures and you can order a Grace Like Waves pillow from Sew a Fine Seam.

Here’s my Steadfast necklace again!

I like how Carmella titled the card the necklace comes on.

It’s called Your 2017 Focus Word.

I love that. Focus Word.

It makes me think of abiding. Of pondering. Of taking time to notice.

It reminds me of steadfastness.

Carmella creates these charming little painting cards and tucks them in along with her orders. Aren’t they dear?!

Here’s a peek at a few of my SAFS pillows gracing my couch for Valentine’s Day! They make me happy.

  4. My word of the year is Hope. We began a non profit last year, Windows of Hope and this year we plan to be up and running. It’s all about Hope this year!

  8. I love Creative Carmella!! That’s how I found your blog! I love the outfit post and what you wore with your necklace! Focus is actually my word for 2017 but I think for the necklace I would put Strive. <3

    Thank you!

  10. Dear Deborah,
    Again, I will tell you that your posts bring a peacefulness to my heart.
    My word would be faith. Faith in everything, brings steadfast hope, trust, love, respect, joy, (and I could go on).
    Now I understand why our farms in the midwest are called “the heartland of the United States of America”!!

    1. I love the personal meaning that a certain word can have for us and for certain times and seasons in our life. I like how God pours out onto all of us. I like the way He created us all in His image, but each person is unique and our lives and journeys and yes, our “words” are unique!!

  15. Wait, is my word lately, wait on the Lord. However abide might be a better word for the necklace. They are beautiful.

  16. I’d pick the word Faith because it’s gotten me through some hard times in my life. Jesus is my strength. Without Him there is no life. Thank you for the chance and the wonderful giveaway 😀

  21. I’m not sure what word I would choose. I’ll think about it. The necklace is so pretty though. kristiedonelson(at)gmail(dot)com Thank you.

  22. I would choose the word “hope” it has been a word used often lately. Thank you for the chance.

  26. I would choose warrior as the word. i think it’d be a great mix of such a cute classy necklace and such a strong powerful word.

  31. I just discovered your blog and am equally happy to have discovered all the other shops and blogs that you’ve featured!

  36. I would choose the word “loved” or “breathe” and gift it to my friend who is in a dark place right now as a constant reminder that she is loved or to take everything one breath at a time.
