Jubilee
My cousin inspired me. Last January she chose a word to be a theme and focus for her year. Hers was FREE and you can link to her blog here to read more.
Last week I was at a conference and in worship I was praying and really felt ministered to by the Lord…like He was speaking the word “jubilee” to me regarding this year. Then today I looked up the definition and context for jubilee as I was contemplating what “my word” would/should be. Jubilee it seems is often used at anniversaries…25th, 50th, etc. And of course, it’s a celebration. I turned 29 on Nov 10th. I became a Christian at the ripe old age of 4. This is my 25th anniversary of loving Jesus, of a commitment to faith in Him. And so, jubilee, I believe is exactly the word to choose. I’m not sure what this year will look like, where it will take me or what I’ll discover along the way…but I’m pretty excited about a year of jubilee.
I have always wanted to name a baby girl Jubilee. I think it’s a fantastic word with much promise and joy and freedom. What a fantastic year you are going to have with jubilee as your focus!
