enter image description here This has become an annual ritual for me.

I have a daily discipline that includes listenting to the Daily Audio Bible podcast (highly recommended), and for the psat few years I have been micro-journaling each day, usually just a few words that stood out to me from the reading (or words that the reading evoked in me). At the end of the year, I pump the journal into a word-cloud maker (wordart.com) to show visually by size which words appeared most.

In 2022 I found myself logging mostly verbs, although I wasn't completely strict about it, so a few non-verbs are there too. The result is this compelling image, calling me to action in the coming new year.

My hopes and prayers are with you. May we all step forward into 2023, together, with purpose, power, and grace.
