How fun to find you, and to see so many others who’ve asked for their “word-for-the-year.” We are a few weeks into this new year, and my word still resonates daily . . . . HOPE.
I hope it’s alright to post a link to my own blog on this . . . . .

Blessings–and hope.

so nice i found this post again today and though it might have slipped into your archive it is blessing me here and now. for some days now I’ve being notched from within as though like a baby and it’s with the thought of a “goliath” an idea that is strong in me but only God can birth. this post is encouraging me again to step into faith and release myself for birthing. God bless you for always sharing because i’m always blessed.

My brother once pointed out that I just zoomed past joy when I embraced the fruits of the Spirit. I’ve spent recent years surrendering to joy, but sometimes still don’t feel that I get it naturally. Thank you for encouraging me in this quest to more fully submit to my Lord and Savior.

in these soul-baring moments when we are face-to-face with our vulnerabilities is when His glorious power is made perfect.
and there is no greater thrill, or joy, than to behold the mighty power of our Father.
thank you for this beautiful reminder, bonnie.

Hi Bonnie,

This is such a beautiful post–I love your connection between joy and vulnerability! So refreshing and so true! And it’s so true what you say about the difference between happiness–which we can control–and joy, which we can’t control, which involves risk and movement, just like you said–what an important distinction that can be so easy to miss! I love how we need to be vulnerable to Jesus and to His grace to experience joy and also how joy then opens us to being more vulnerable, indeed, knowing that we can’t earn it, as you say, but can only accept it as grace. And thanks so much for including information about Holly Gerth’s new book–looking forward to reading it! Thanks so much! And also, I just wanted to say that I’ve been reading your “Going Off Script” posts here lately and am being so tremendously blessed by them–and they’re such wonderful examples of the blessings which being vulnerable can bring! Thank you so much for those as well! Blessings!

I hadn’t viewed vulnerability as a gift before reading this. You’ve encouraged me – and obviously many others – to brave those waters and dive deep into Jesus. Thanks!

We’re all like little ones, still in our desperate need for the grace of our adopting Father. I like that picture. Warm post… Glad I heeded Jason’s advice today. Thanks.
