How would you characterize 2007?
How would you characterize 2007?
What happened? What are some of your highs, lows, blessings, memories?
Who are the people we need to remember from 2007?
I appreciate all you folks because without you, there would be no forum and really no one to discuss stuff with.
HAPPY NEW YEAR...
This was an unbelievable year for me. Everest Highs, and Grand Canyon Lows, and through it all, God is still and forever will be an on-time God.

2007 was an eventful year for me as a mom!
My son got engaged in April and married in October.
My daughter got engaged in August.
I moved in August.
2007 was a happy year and I'm very content.

Do you just say God is on time or are we conditioned to think that? Just curious. 
Blessings, Rhoni

No, I am saying that with full conviction.
I huddled my family together three weeks ago and we prayed needing a miracle within those next 7 days. We needed to take in one more resident and I needed to get a job offer. Point blank, that week that was it we needed BOTH things to happen, not just one or the other.
Within THAT week, on Tuesday we did get the resident and on that Friday I DID get the best job offer I have ever had in my career.
God is an ON-TIME God.

So glad to hear that you got your hearts desire!

Yes, He is, Carp...good word here.
I don't believe conditioning has anything to do with it. God is an on time God, and it's not a cliche' or great song title.
He works and performs His will according to His will. He only asks that we trust and follow His direction.
The answered prayers you received are wonderful, and I thank God for them, rejoicing with you.
But for those who might think this is a unique happening, it isn't...or shouldn't be anyway.
God desires to pour out blessings and victory and strength and more to His children, but sadly we often miss it because we have moved, for whatever reasons, from our place.
God bless you and your family, Carp...

I agree completely! Our times are in his hands. He has a season and purpose to everything in our lives. There is peace of mind that comes from knowing God which enables us to trust Him. Ps 31:15, Ecc 3:1

I don't even know how to characterize 2007. 1 year ago today I was sitting in a nearly empty apartment, my own, after having been homeless for 5 months. I also was not in church, not looking for a church, not looking for God, and definitely not worshiping Him.
I started college in Jan. I completed my freshman year in Dec.
I put my kids in school for the first time in August. The end of homeschooling was hard on me, but they're thriving.
I walked into a church in June. I am no longer the person I was that day.
It was a huge, huge, huge, huge year.
