Happy New Year!

May you have a happy new year in 2006!

2005 could not have ended any better as my daughter decided to be baptized! She is a remarkable girl! After I tuck her in at night I often stand in the hallway and listen to her pray or read from the Bible. She truly has an amazing heart and a sincere desire to follow God. Baptizing her brought me more joy than anything else in all of 2005! I have never been prouder of her!

My prayer for you in this new year is:
1) if you are searching for God, that you wait and He will come to you
2) if you are resisting God, that you will surrender
3) if you are far from God, you will draw near to God
4) if you are a passive Christ-follower, that you will become an on-fire Christ-follower
5) if you are afraid of loving, that you will love freely and unconditionally

May you experience the peace of Christ and the love of Christ! May you embrace the hope found in Christ!

May 2006 find us one step closer on our journey home!
