I really was NOT going to go seeking a theme for 2012, honestly, truly, I wasn't going to stress about it and make a big deal of it. It wasn't so much that I was determined not to have one, just that I wasn't going to actively seek one out.
It seems God had other plans. One day at the end of November I thought I got an inkling of something, just one word but it seemed ridiculous, so I pushed it out of my head.
The following morning that one word got more flesh on it and made more sense. Then that afternoon I was at a lunch with the team of a local anti trafficking group, where we met with the young ladies who put on the play about trafficking at the big fund raiser/awareness event we attended last year. We're going to put on a big event which all the other agencies working on trafficking will be invited to, at which the ladies will perform their updated version of the play, which we will then invite school staff, youth workers, local politicians, etc to, in order to build awareness but also build credibility for he organisation by hosting an event which all the other established agencies come to. Oh and we're also going to be planning a masked ball for October next year as well. Well after that I kind of knew I was right.
The word was ENJOY. I mean, seriously, like God is going to tell someone to take a whole year to just ENJOY? D'you know what that's not actually an accurate representation of what went through my head. If I'm being more honest it was "Sure, God might tell someone else to do that, (I have a close friend who had a year of Delight) but he'd never say that to me". There, I've said it! I figured it was something God could quite possibly say to others but never to me.
I did say that that one word got more flesh on it the morning before the meeting mentioned above. It did indeed, it became ENJOY THE ADVENTURE So there you have it. 2012, the year to enjoy the adventure.
. . .
What will that mean? What will it bring? I certainly don't think it's going to be a year of sitting back and doing nothing and just enjoying life like that, at all. I have an inkling of a slight possibility of something that MIGHT be coming up, that would certainly fulfil the adventure part for me. But it isn't even a definite possibility yet, so news of that will have to wait.
One thing I know I am going to be enjoying is the year long online art class I have signed up for over at Willowing.ning, which you can find a link to in my sidebar. In fact, as I write it is 5 minutes to midnight on New Years Eve and I am waiting for the stroke of midnight when I think the first class (or at least something) will go live.

Do you have a theme for 2012? If not, maybe it's something you could think about.
