You Are SO Loved
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to remind you (yes, YOU!) that you are so loved.
While Valentine’s marketing often focuses on romantic love, love is so much more than that!
Ultimately, we can rejoice because we know we are loved by God. (I think it’s important to pause and remind ourselves, very often, that we are LOVED by the Creator of the universe. Seriously, how incredibly amazing is that?)
Here are some reminders of how much you are loved by God.
Feel free to share these songs and verses with those you love to remind them just how valuable they are. Valentine’s day is also the perfect time to our love for family and friends!

Letting God Choose A Word For The Year
In the past, I have resisted choosing a word for the year because it has always seemed so arbitrary. I’ve seen other people do that, and then they seem frustrated when the random word they chose hasn’t magically panned out over the year. It almost seems like setting yourself up for failure to decide the year will be a certain thing, and then get disappointed when it isn’t. Especially if that word is a vague hope, vs. a goal you work towards.
But a few years ago, I listened to a podcast by the Ransomed Heart team about letting God choose your word/verse/theme for the year. (Here’s this year’s podcast on that topic.)
I found this perspective so refreshing and have enjoyed praying about what word and Bible verse God has for me each new year since. It has been a great practice for growing closer to God and bringing my plans and hopes for the year to Him.
