Christmas is one week from today. All the presents have been bought & are wrapped, the lights are all hung with final family preparations made. Trust it's a Holly Jolly Christmas & New Year! And soon it will all be over & then it's on to the new year. I'm always amazed at how quickly people's mind sets shift after Christmas. But they will and we all will be on with the future! Whats next? What does 08 offer & what will it bring?
Its like unpacking a box that we don't know what's in it. It can be exciting & intimidating at the same time. According to the Word and the prophetic voice on the scene for the church its pretty exciting. A year of new beginnings, suddenness, celebrations and a season of victory for God's people. I'm embracing all that and going into the new year with high expectations. Trust you are as well.
I do know that I have a renewed sense of HOPE. Unexplainable Joy & Peace. Based on Romans 15:13, we all should! After coming out of a phenomenal weekend with our outreaches, services & all the amazing things God is saying & doing. New people, new salvation's, new provisions, protection, guidance. I can confidently say, with my hope remaining in Him, I'm ready for the new year. Bring it own! I'm ready to unpack all that God has & go forward.
For all those of you who are making this incredible journey with us, I'm thankful to be sharing for such a time as this with you in our corner of the world. Happy New Year and I know its going to be our best because His face is towards us. So as you move into the next phase of this year & close it out & move into the new year, be encouraged & expecting. Its here so lets enjoy the goodness of our God!!!
