2009

It is a brand new year. Not unscarred by troubles, but I am deeply reminded of how little my problems are from the perspective of eternity. My word for this year? TRUST. I also hope it will be a year of Training and have already experienced Testing. (notice a pattern here) We hearalded the new year with a great new years eve service at the Church. There were some testimonies, prayer for the nation, the world, and families, and alot of worship and dance. At the stroke of midnight we entered the new year with the chant "Yes Lord, Yes Lord, Yes, Yes Lord." As the moment came there was a varied response. There were many young people who went wild and started running around in circles, alot of cheers of jubilation, along with shouts of worship and praise. And then there were a few, of which I was one, who became very quiet and felt the presence of the Lord. I don't know what this year holds, but I know One who stands outside of time and who has always been faithful and will continue to be faithful in 2009!
