Persevere til the end in 2010... with Joy.
As I have been sitting here this afternoon thinking about everything our Church has been going through these past few months, our theme for the year came to mind. We have been through multiple people with health issues (big and small), job issues, family situations, celebrations of new births, and new beginnings. There is not too much I can say except from what I have witnessed - putting our faith in the Lord not matter what the situation. Hearing about having no fear of what the future holds because He holds the future. Seeing people say what they believe and then living it. I am humbled daily by knowing our church family and how they live - all for the glory of God.
This verse has come to my mind a lot recently, and I would like to share it with you. All we see is what is happening now, not the Master('s) plan.
For I know the plans I have for you," declares
the Lord, "
plans to prosper
you and not to harm
you,
plans to give
you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
