Christmas 2007 Logan MatthewHappy Blessed New Year to you all!!
I look forward to an exciting, challenging year. Exciting because each day holds opportunities to reach out and touch someones life with the love of Christ. Each and every day God opens doors and waits to see if we will cross the threshhold and follow him through. I desperately want to be used of him more than ever, be bold, take the intitiative and make the most of each opportunity he presents.
This year will be challenging because each and every year we are presented with challenges. I know that we will also experience growth and that if we walk with the Lord we will remain triumphant throughout our difficulties. What a blessing to know that we will overcome and that our Father in Heaven is so faithful.
We had a wonderful Christmas and were grateful to spend Christmas Eve with my husband's family and Christmas Day with my family. So many new additions to both between marriages and new babies this past year was especially wonderful.
Although every baby is truly a blessing we are especially grateful to God for giving us our little Logan. He is so sweet and beautiful. We don't get to see him much since he resides in New Jersey but when we do get to see him....watch out cuz I am going to steal him away!!! Auntie is relentless when it comes to holding this precious angel. Well I do share him with everyone else but only because I have to.
Logan was not feeling well for Christmas and ended up in the hospital with pnemonia when he returned to New Jersey. Thank the Lord that he is recovering now at home and feeling better every day.
So many of my friends and family members had such difficult circumstances last year and I want you all to know that my prayers are continuing and that through the tough times of loss of loved ones, health issues, depression, and our every day worries our Father in Heaven is refining us and building us up. He is making us ever stronger and bringing us closer to him and also bringing us closer together. I love my sisters in Christ and know that I can always count on you to pray and lift my spirits by just a thought an E-Mail or a deed. Isn't it just like God to always place someone in the right place at the right time to shine his light so that our paths may be lit to remind us of his glorious grace and mercy. Hallelujah!!
My New Years wish is that each and every one of us seize the opportunites afforded us this year and spread the message of his Glorious Love and Grace so that his Kingdom may grow abundantly. Take that step......cross that threshhold.....feel the joy!!!!
