2008...The Year of......
 

If you had to have a theme for 2008, what would it be?

Simple answer...

Thy Kingdom Come!

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth (me), as it is (already settled and established) in heaven!

a year... "We will always Remember!"

2008...The Year of New Beginnings!!

"Behold I will do a new thing..." (Isaiah 43:19).

Perhaps this should be them for this forum?! Just wondered as I posted the Scripture... :star

So be it, Lord Jesus... restoration to Wholeness for we are complete in you, Jesus!

Joel 2 restoration, even of those things stolen from you and eaten up by the locust and the cankerworm! All that would have been shall be in a year of restoration!

Great theme, Ronzo! :newyear

If God before us, who can be against us?


I am ready to go forward and pursue all I've wanted in life. Letting go of the past weights, but not forgetting what I've learned from yesterday. Taking what the previous years had given to me, I am ready to give back. Taking back what the previous years have stolen from, I am ready to move on. Ready to make a difference in all aspects of life... In my walk with God, and my everyday life.... I am moving on! If God before us, who can be against us?

Our Pastor has decried 2008 is "The year For Souls"

We are wanting to grow in size by at least 100% increase.

Thanks for your kindness, bro. May your new year be filled with good surprises and a hunger to draw even closer to your Loving Creator. May you know the depth of his passionate love for you and may he cover you under the shadow of his wings and reveal the hunger he has to draw even closer to you as well.

Amen, this is what I spoke on last night about presenting our bodies a living sacrifice!

2008 what matters most is seeking, doing, & being in the center of the Will of God no matter what.

Me too.

2008 - Diet for all I ATE!

Good ideas, Ladies and Gentlemen!

2007 was really a....um....er...yucky year. (to say the least) I am hoping that 2008 is better.

Kinda down right now and need some inspiration to reach for. I am a person constantly on the go and always busy, and it is really difficult for me to sit back and watch and do nothing. ( I almost feel as though I am sinning) But I believe that the Lord has just kinda Zapped me down for the last few months and not allowed me to be able to "move" people like I once did...ie...I'm not motivated, so when YOU aren't motivated....you can't motivate others, right, duh!!!!

Well, I'm actually in a fox hole at the moment awaiting the respite of the enemy. Been in here a while and it's getting kinda cramped and I don't "wait" very good. I KNOW that if I come out on my own, I will get clobbered, but I'm getting kinda claustophobic in here and I"m tired of the dark and "wet" smell (what I imagine a sod house would smell like, yucky). I'm tired of holding my breath every time I turn around cause I"m afraid I've been found by the wrong person.

Someone told me I needed to get mad, but I just don't have the energy. I should be crying as I type, cause I usually do, but just don't have the energy or anymore tears cause they've already been cried out.....

I'm actually whinning. I shouldn't be....I've got it better than most....Poor Sweet Sis. Alvear and her situation...Ronzo and his situation......lots of other folks who have it a lot worse than me, and here I am whinning....

I just need prayer!!!(it doesn't help that the Skinner is not home for the next few days....he's..............HUNTING!!!):penguin:peng uin

Anyways, just pray for me and John Robert while Daddy is away.

Keep the themes coming. I need all the help I can get.

The Year that UPCI churches will be on Television. :(

you eat too many sour grapes! :gotcha lol I know many upci churches that have not intentions to go on tv.... regardless of what was voted in!

Have a good new year! btw, could you go to miami to Jimmy's place? I have some family there who are backsliders and they need someone to share some hope with them?!?!:christmoose

Jimmy's Place? Need more details than that Sister.

It's a restaurant. That's all I know. I haven't been down there in over a decade (really don't care to be, too hectic for me.)

I don't understand, you so far have told me that it's a resturant in Miami, which there are two by the name of Jimmy's Place, and further more should I walk into the establishment and tell whoever I bump into that I was sent by "Lady Chocolate" and that whoever is related to that misnomer should get themselves back to Church?

Also, when was the last time you spoke to them? Since you don't care to visit them what makes you think they would ever want to return to church?

HEY!!!!!!!!

Go Hijack sombody elses thread!!!!!:newyear

Dude! lighten up... really, you don't have to go there. and if I really thought you would go there, I would probably give you some REAL NAMES... but since you said that you'd go and tell them that someone said they should get themselves back to church, nope, forget I even said it.... I want them to have hope, not more "in your face you are a backslider get back to God or be lost blablabla. I talk to them often. No I don't care to go there but I just saw a couple months ago and I could see that longing there when we talked... But don't worry brother, I think I've changed my mind on about you going... it was just a thought.... maybe a bad thought! lol

Sorry LadyCoonskinner.... I was just thinking outloud... I was wrong please forgive me! Besides, I really liked your thread and it was uplifting!!!!!


I look forward to 2008! A fresh start is what I need.... I can look back and think about 08 and so far it's been peaceful! I needed these few days! lol

:girlfriend

You go Sis. CS. You go girl.

I just want more Jesus in 2008.

I wasn't really shooting at you....(go and see what that meaneth...:penguin) I was wanting some inspiration and EB didn't seem to be wanting to give any inspiration.

Your's was good because you wanted ministry for your loved ones, but I'm not in the mood for ignorance :christmoose at the moment.

You go girl!!!!!

Thank you please place me on ignore. :)

Why don't you just lighten up?!!!!!

Shake The Nation!

(time for a book-of-Acts restoration and demonstration of spiritual gifts)

That's way cool!!!

God is Great in 2008 !

Election 08'

Mrs. Pianoman and I came up with a theme for us this year:

Exelerate in 2008!

Yep!!! I keep saying 2008 is bringing something Great! Or 2008 is gonna be GREAT!!!!

That's good too!

2008- "Open the Revival Gate!"

2008 don't be late.

I heard this, wasn't mine.

Sister Coonskinner, maybe your theme for this year ought to be “be still” it seems that is what the Lord is trying to get you to do? Remember the Prohpet? God got him in a cave, and showed him the wind. But God wasn’t in the wind. God showed him the fire, but God wasn’t in the fire. God showed him the earthquake but God wasn’t in the Earth Quake. God was in the still small voice!

Be still and know that I am God.

Paul said it this way “when you have done everything, just stand still. Be ready but STAND STILL”

God has ordered your steps. All the steps that have led to this set, you accepted as “ordered of the Lord” don’t you think if He ordered those, he is ordering these?

I hope I have not over stepped. May the peace of the Lord be with you.

I don't have a fancy catch phrase but I feel that 2008 is going to be a great year. I'm coming out of a self induced shell that caused me to separate myself from people as a whole and religious folk specifically. This is going to be a year that the healing of the past year has brought about. God is going to move (if I may speak churchy for a bit) in my family as a whole. I have a feeling that it is going to be the same with my friends as well.

Overused as a feel-good thing but I'll use it anyway. I believe that this is the year that will be a year of rising out of the ashes. It will be more than just a restoration but a bringing to a higher level of spirituality than ever before through the grace of God. I think that this will be effecting not just spiritual but physical as well.

I'm not a prophet nor do I claim to be a spiritual giant -- but there is a feeling in my bones that I can not explain. One of anticipation. One of expectation. And one of exuberance.

How about EXCELerate in 2008! :D Seeking out a more EXCELLENT Way!

Oh Nathan I am so, so glad to hear you say this.:newyear

Oops! I left off the "C"! :lol

I read it in there without it. lol
