Have you ever chosen a word of the year before? Have you even heard of a word of the year or a word to focus on for the year. And usually, if you do, that word has some kind of meaning for you.  I have, but only once.

The Lord is our Shepherd and we are his sheep. When he watches over us with his eyes of protection, we will lack nothing and we will want for nothing. When His rams and ewes hunger, He provides them with fresh green pastures of plenty and security. When his lambs thirst for the refreshing taste of cool spring water, He quenches the thirst of their tongues with the taste of His love and mercy. Our Shepherd will always ensure that his flock are securely protected. When we wander into places that threaten danger to our well-being, His rod and His staff will bring these stray sheep back into the safety of His fold. His eye is ever watchful. Not for one moment will our Heavenly Guardian shift His gaze from his precious sheep, for no matter how often they turn from Him and chase after their own desires, those sheep are more precious to Him than any refined gold or rare gem. He loves them so much that he sent His only unblemished and untainted Lamb to pay for the wandering of His entire flock! #sheep #wanderingsheep #welcomingbacktothefold #ourshepherdissomerciful #safetyinthearmsofgod #devotional #christianity #growinginthefaith #godisourshepherd #godisourshelter #psalm23 #psalms https://www.instagram.com/p/CQl0d_ellyK/?utm_medium=tumblr

And then one day, God reached down to a broken, miserable and angry woman and grabbed hold of her heart.

My life has been a like a chapter out of “A Series Of Unfortunate Events”.  Abandoned by a mother who had severe mental illness, adopted by…
