January 2020

Keep our focus on God, Eyes set toward Eternity, to be Kingdom minded through the mind of Christ.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We are the offspring of the great I AM. Superheroes and Servants of the Most High God! Our address is under the shadow of the Almighty and no evil comes near us!

Dear Partners and Prayer Warriors,

The above statement should be our banner for the year 2020. It seems as though the year 2019 went by at an unfathomable speed.  We can rest assured that if we are not legitimately focused, and pointed in the directional intent that God has for us, our 2020 will go by equally as fast!

Doug and I are excited about the New Year and we welcome it with open hearts and open arms. We have discovered a few things over the years that have held more truth in the year 2019 than any other year thus far:

·         Facts are temporary but TRUTH is eternal.  Fact is what Truth adheres to, like an adhesive, to build and activate our faith for every situation and any circumstance life brings.

·         We all have a list of the “can’t fix its”. This is where we allow God to apply His Truth to our facts and ask Him to walk us through the trials and tribulations promised us in His Word.

·         Pain demands to be felt and comforted by the arms of our Father.

·         We must dare ourselves to take God at His Word when all we can see is what is in front of us. (When our “can’t help its” want to control the “can’t fix its”).

·         In order for change to take place, we must actively partner with God in order for it to become a lifelong experience for our good.

·         Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever and He will not leave us nor forsake us!

·         He is a lamp to our feet and the light to our path and when we allow Him, He will direct our every step regardless of our plans. Praise God!

·         Staying in today is all that is required; tomorrow will take care of itself.

·         His loving mercies are from everlasting to everlasting and new every morning.

 His Grace is sufficient and,

·         We cannot out give God.  Hallelujah!

We are excited about the up and coming New Year as God brings it to us. We have an earnest expectation and have already caught a glance of what it is going to look like for us. We want the same for you. We want to continue to walk out, in Him, the life lessons listed and to keep the attitude of the banner above. We want it to become our battle cry because in all of life, if you are a child of the Most High God, no weapon formed against you will prosper and every lie will be proven just that! We can do all things in Christ Jesus because we live, move and have our being in Him and our home address IS “under the shadow of the Almighty”. “Christ in me the hope of Glory!” Christ in YOU the hope of His Glory!
