I'm Finished With Christmas

As much as I've enjoyed this Christmas, friends and family, I'm ready to move on to a NEW YEAR! In my wildest imagination I never believed that we would be celebrating the year 2007. All of my life I have heard about the return of our Lord, and when he would come back for His bride, on a cloud, and we would be caught away, together, to meet Him in the air! I am still looking for Him to return. I KNOW it will happen and it can't be too far in the future! But, while we remain here on earth I want to be ALL I can be for God, family, friends, and church. It's wonderful being a mom, wife, grandmother, friend, and Pastor's wife! Life couldn't have been any better for me. Of course, we've had some very hard times in our ministry, but I have been so blessed and I am happy to be "who" I am. Working with people, and loving them, and seeing changes take place for the better in their lives is fulfilling and exciting! I've watched how God has taken the sin-sick life, and made something beautiful for the world to see. I've watched the poor become financially stable after coming to God, and you can't experience these changes in people's lives without feeling a deep appreciation and love for the ONE who has caused this to happen. What does 2007 hold for all of us? I don't pretend to even "think" I know, but I do know there are great things ahead for everyone who will strive to do their BEST for God!
