I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year. I know ours seems to get better each year. I guess with God on our side we shouldn't expect it to be any other way.
I am so excited about all that God is doing that it is really hard to contain myself. Sometimes it seems like I could just explode inside. I have heard about God's plan and vision for us for many years now. I never had any idea that I would get to play a part in it like God has allowed me to.
The church here is doing better than ever. The people seem more hungry and excited than ever before. There are so many things I could say about this that there wouldn't be room to write. I believe we have had more changed lives than ever before.
I sense that God wants to move this year than ever before. I believe it is a time for us to yield to the Holy Spirit and let God have his way. We get so much more accomplished when we allow God to fulfill his plan through us instead of getting in the way by doing it our way.
The Marion ministry is doing great as well. We have been meeting on Thursday nights for several weeks now. I am not goint to say that I am surprised, but the response has been great as well. It has been miraculous what God has done in such a short time. There are other things that he is doing right now that I will tell you about later. Sometimes things take place in our lives as we keep our faith in God that is really amazing. I will never again be concerned about anything God tells me to do, because he has all the provision we need as we obey him.
I figured it was about time to update again. I know that it's been awhile, but as much as I try to keep everyone informed this seems to always get last priority. Thank God he is working with us and in us daily.
