New Year '11

Christmas has come and gone; and the New Year is almost here.  It's that time of the year which naturally prompts reflections on the past year and contemplations of the coming year.

I look back over the year with gratefulness for having made it through another year in all areas - work, church, family&friends, etc.  I'm glad to have had the opportunity to serve at church, COA, etc.   It is a blessing to be a part of a church in which I can visibly see God causing growth and being at work.  Also, in these tough economic times, I'm especially grateful for God's provisions.  Even, as the year winds down, I'm glad to have had the time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, to make preparations for the New Year, and to spend time with family & friends.  It was nice to spend Christmas day with my family, riding the gondola, playing miniature golf, and going out to eat.

Looking towards the coming year, I already have my area of focus; and both my new Bible Study and Small Group series; and I am praying about new areas in which God will stretch, use, and develop me.
