Expectant: one who is looking forward to something

I’ve never been a person who had a word for the year, but 2023 was different. In January, as I was preparing for my day, I had the urgency to write down the word “Expectant” at the top of my planner. Now, in January that is not really surprising, right? We are all hoping for a year different and definitely better than the year before. But when I looked at the word “expectant”, it sat with me. I knew that there was something to it and it was just how I was supposed to approach things in 2023.

By August, I was starting to think that maybe I had gotten that wrong. I mean, the year is almost over and some things weren’t exactly going as I had hoped. But things can change quickly, right?

In August, God said it’s time. I knew what He was talking about and this time, I didn’t brush it off like I did in the past. I’m not a journaler by nature, but this is my feeble attempt to right down the thoughts as they come. How God reveals Himself to me in little bits and pieces so I can share them with you. I’m not a theologian or some uber-Godly woman, but I am a person who is seeking and, for some reason, I think that’s enough right now. My hope and prayer is that these will speak to you and encourage you. Or maybe you can just laugh at whatever nonsense comes out of my mouth. Who knows? But let’s see where this leads us and what lies ahead, because I expect it is going to be something neither of us expected.
