Hello 2009
Hello 2009 A couple of weeks ago our pastors had an appreciation dinner for the members of the church. It was so much fun! Throughout the dinner people came up to the mic to talk about what 2008 had meant to them. Although there was alot of hard times in 2008 I can honestly say that 2008 was a fantastic year for me. The entire year!! And I can honestly say that is because that is the year that my husband and I gave ourselves entirely to our God. Not only did we fall in love wth Jesus but we finally truely fell in love with eachother. We always thought things were good but we never imagined how great they could be. 2008 was the year that we laid down our own thoughts, feelings and everything else that pertained to us as a individuals and decided to follow what God wanted us to do. Once we opened our hearts, God took over completely!! He led us to a wonderful church, with fantastic pastors and great friends. (Shout out to you Maribel, wink wink) And of course Bree and Diana to..lol. I went from a place of feeling loney from leaving my family behind and insecure about where my relationship was going to being the happiest I have ever been. And although there are hard times, we are able to face them with confidence and peace because we know that God is in control! What a great relief to know that somebody is ALWAYS watching out for you without conditions or limitations! I have a whole new set of brothers and sisters who I know are always there, and awesome examples in our pastors. I am so excited with life!! And as 2008 came to a close and 2009 begun God was just as excited about showing us how much more he has in store for us. Thank you Jesus! I am anxious for the journey we will take this year and I know its going to be great!!
