Selah: Pause & Reflect
For the past few years I have chosen a word to frame my year instead of a resolution. Often it has been a one-time, half-hearted commitment to a word. In 2018 I chose “go,” and on January 2 I forgot about it. In 2019 I chose “joy,” and I spent my year filling notebooks with things that brought me joy each day, even when I was feeling less than joyful. In 2020 I chose a word that I had never heard before and barely understood. I didn’t know why, but I felt like “Selah” was going to be my 2020. And as the events of this year started barreling in, I knew it was the perfect fit.
