What happened? What are some of your highs, lows, blessings, memories?

Hoover/Meeks Wife Swap, East Coast/Canada Vacations, A 15% increase in my small business, A 20% increase in personal salary plus a stipend from ABC,

Who are the people we need to remember from 2007?

My Aunt is near death (Cancer), The Meeks Family - God has performed miracles in their lives.

I appreciate all you folks because without you, there would be no forum and really no one to discuss stuff with.

I appreciate you too Carp - may God bless you abundantly!

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 a year of personal emotional healing for me (no details!).

We started two new churches (Savannah and Cordova), besides several overseas.

I got to do missions trips to Costa Rica and Hong Kong!

My son graduated high school and left for college. My daughter moved to Tulsa.

I turned 50!!!!!!

Overall, it was a very good year.

As I read these posts I nearly feel guilt - there really have not been many lows for me in 2007. God has blessed us abundantly. I pray when hard times do come - and I know they can and will, God will continue to chart my course as he is in your lives.

I will say a special prayer for the needs mentioned.

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.
Congratulations on the job! I know this was very important for you and your family. God does answer before the ship sinks but many times i would prefer him to answer in a quicker time frame

Blessings, Rhoni

Bro. Hoover,

Don't feel guilty - we have all experienced those Blessed Years and there are many more to come for us all.

Thankfully, Rhoni

Wow...what a year!

Although I unexpectedly lost my father-in-law during surgery this past week, our family has been reminded why the Holy Ghost is called a "Comforter". As other posters have said, God has once again proven faithful.

This year has also had amazing "ups". We have had 49 people receive the Holy Ghost since Labor Day, with my 6-year-old nephew being one of them! I'll always remember him lifting his arms straight up, began worshipping at the top of his lungs, and was talking in tongues in about 30 seconds.

THESE are the memories of a lifetime!

You didn't even mention meeting me in the spring as one of the highlights... I am crushed!

Until I saw your post I was going to say how great 2007 had been... now I don't know what to say!

It's been the best of times
It's been the worst of times

Nah! I can't complain. God has been sho nuf good to me! I've gained many new friends this year and God has healed many hurts. I enjoyed another year with my family and I am so grateful for that.

It was about a year ago that we were going thru a major transition in our lives. We were standing at the crossroads of life. I was nervous and scared. Not really knowing what tomorrow would bring but keeping my eyes on who holds tomorrow. It was Jan. 1st of 2007 that I read the scripture:


Jeremiah 29:11 (King James Version)

11For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

I held on to this when life was chaotic! There were times I had my doubts, but I held my peace and let God fight my battles! Nah, I can't complain!

By far, one of the toughest years of my life in the spiritual realm.

Who are the people we need to remember from 2007?

Remember those who betrayed me. Pray for me to forgive them and that they will see their need to be forgiven by God Himself.

I appreciate all you folks because without you, there would be no forum and really no one to discuss stuff with.
.

I want to renew my commitments to God and see people come to God in 2008. God is faithful. I pray that I will remain faithful to Him no matter how the battle rages.


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.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME. I am looking forward to a better year in 2008.

"Yesterday"

I had enough heartache and enough headaches
I've had so many ups and downs
Don't know how much more i can take
See i decided that i cried my last tear yesterday
Either i'm going to trust you or i may as well walk away
'cause stressing don't make it better
Don't make it better, no way
See i decided that i cried my last tear yesterday
Yesterday, i decided to put my trust in you
Yesterday, i realized that you will being me through
There ain't nothing to hard for my God, no
Any problems that i have
He's greater than them all, so
I decided that i cried my last tear yesterday


This pretty much sums it up for me!
