"Washed in His Word"
For more than a decade, Erin Thiele’s How to Be Blessed series inspired thousands through her annual blog—transforming the way women (and men) step into a new year.
Year after year, readers shared powerful testimonies: no longer dreading what lay ahead, they began embracing each new season with confidence, excitement, and unshakable hope. Challenges didn’t disappear—but fear was gone. In its place came a deeper understanding of just how much God loves us and longs to bless us beyond what we could imagine.
“‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’
declares the LORD,
‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you a future and a hope.'"
Have you been robbed long enough—entering each year with dread or anxiety?
This book gently guides you into the loving arms of the One who longs to love you so fully that you no longer look anywhere else for peace, security, or joy. Embrace each month with fresh hope, discover a new anticipation rising in your heart, so when others ask, “How are you so blessed? What’s your secret?”
Be ready—share your testimony and place this book in their hands to begin their own journey of how to be blessed.
Don’t just hope for a better year.
Step into one.
How refreshing and encouraging to reread this principle on this first day of the year. As I read this first principle, I also found myself meditating on the promise my Beloved gave me for last year: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”

I have loved the HTBB series, and so thankful to see it as a book. Our Darling Lord wants to bless us because that is His nature. Sometimes we look at the hurt, but behind the hurt, He is standing with His loving arms, waiting for us to run into His arms, because He wants to comfort us.

This year, I say YES to this life, hand in hand with my Beloved, the One who is both my Creator and my Husband, "A wife forsaken and grieved in spirit." I firmly believe in His promises and His infinite blessing. For years, I did not fully understand what it meant to be blessed by Him, but today I know that this year and every year will be overflowing with grace for my children and for me. May this year be a living testimony of His love, His faithfulness, and the abundance of His blessings in each of our lives.
