As I explained last year (oh, about 5 blog posts ago?) while it's become more popular to choose a word for the year to focus on or whatever, for 20 years now (woohoo!) I've been choosing a word I want to learn about for that year. By mid December I knew that the word I wanted for this year was MERCY. Then I thought also about NEW and realized that the two go perfectly together... NEW MERCIES.
I'm making "desktop art" to keep the verses in front of me as often as possible. My daughter and I are memorizing verses with Beth Moore's blog community and these are the ones I'm starting with.
So far I've learned that mercy is much more than I've always thought.
It's lovely.
It's LOVE.
