A new year

Happy New Year! 2009 is here. It seemed like it was so far away even just a week ago. We had a relatively low key New Year's Eve. We had some friends over to celebrate with us. I just have to tell you all what a blessing it is to have been surrounded by close Christian friends ringing in the New Year. After the ball dropped, we gathered around, held hands and prayed. What an amazing time of prayer it was and how encouraging to me to have such dear friends with a desire to serve such an amazing God.

2008 was quite a year. Even with a down turn in the economy, God showed himself faithful. He promised to be our rock, our refuge, our strength and our sustainer...and He is.

Hopefully here soon, I will be able to get some pictures up. I've been neglectful lately. I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a Happy 2009. I'm praying that this year you are heathy, happy and blessed. That you will draw near to the Lord and serve him. I also pray that no matter the circumstances surrounding you, that you would find joy everyday.
