a word.

I heard someone say, "God never gives us a paragraph."  If we get any direction it's usually a word.  Go.  Wait.  Speak.  Listen.  Forgive.  The old time church folk call it "a word in season" 'cause when you get one of those, it's right when you need it.    

Once in school, a group of us were sitting in the living room floor of a mentor who asked us, "What have you been thinking about lately?  What's one thing you keep rolling around in your mind?"  I had to say, "Indonesia."  I thought I might be going there.  I didn't, but that one word led me down a path that I'm still on today.

During this series I wrote about a friend's word, scream. The series itself is from a single word, small.  I love the one pictured here -- explore.  I'm thinking of taking some word from this series and making that my new series.  Just follow that to something new.  I had no idea where the word small would lead.  I just went.      

What word are you getting?
