The word that started everything: NOW

Five years ago the word was faith. Boring, I thought. (Being honest.) But 2020 arrived and showed me exactly why trust needed to be my anchor that year.

In 2021 He kept me on the same word — there was more to unpack. In 2022 it was as one, teaching me about my eternal union in Christ. In 2023 it was unlimited — unveiling the depths of God's love and what becomes available when we truly partner with Him.

This past January, my husband asked what my word was for this year. I told him I hadn't asked yet. No sooner did those words leave my mouth than I heard a loud NOW in my spirit. I stopped mid-sentence and said, "Ummm — I think God just told me."

He revealed two meanings: one of immediate presence, one of immediate action. The days of pressing in and waiting were over. Our access to Eternity is now. He demonstrated it in real time — interrupting my own thoughts with His, rather than waiting for me to carve out a quiet moment to receive it.

I didn't start this year thinking I would write a book. But God said now, and the doors opened. My hope is that as you read it, you'll sense His presence with you in the now — curious, open, already answering the questions your heart hasn't finished forming.
