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.

Praise God, Nahkoe! He is doing a work in your life! We don't always see it when it is happening in the present but when we look back, it's clear...God had his hand in directing our paths. Ps 108:4

Well...okay, the Thanksgiving goodies...
This has been a year of...challenges. Nothing seemingly extraordinary. Most of the areas in my life have faced a challenge to change. Not be better, not do more, not to try again...but to change.
Our family faces unprecedented newness of life and ministry. This past year of undetectible growth and uneventfulness brought us to our knees in prayer. Not because of agony or tragedy. In growth and a meaningfully new relationship.
All of a sudden passed a crossroads and have arrived at the base of a mountain that looks formidable and too high to climb...but oh, what a summit to reach.
Strange year...

I'll be honest here it's been one of the toughest years me and my wife have gone through.It's been rough financial wise, and it's been a tough mental battle as well, but God is good and He is faithful.

Maybe that's part of what I was trying to say...
Our God has been SO faithful.

2007 has been a year of sickness and healing for me. This year I experienced the biggest challenge physically of my lifetime. I was so close to death, I remember praying to God for my family and asking Him to comfort and sustain them in the event He chose to take me home. However, God had different plans and he chose to allow me more time on this earth. Since May of this year I have been thru a series of tests to monitor bleeding ulcers--this is just one of the complications I have had to deal with. But Praise God, there is power in His Name! 2 weeks ago I had to stay home from church both services on Sunday, because the pain and the nausea was so bad. I went to church the following Tuesday night and had Pastor pray for me. On Wednesday morning they scoped my stomach to find that the ulcers had all healed and they were gone! Just one of the many prayers answered for me this year. Reminds me of a song my Dad used to sing....
I've never seen a rainbow 'till after the rain
i've never felt His healing touch
'til I've felt the pain
I've never seen a sunrise
'Til I've liver thru the night
There's never been a vicotry
'till after the fight.

The highs were one of my grandbabies came to live with us and we were blessed with 3 new grandbabies just weeks and a month apart. Lows were being diagnosed with an illness that an old sinful life had led to. Lost an old friend and really hope that she was saved. But as always God's grace, mercy and blessings are far more abundant than we deserve.

This has been a tough year for us. But, God has remained faithful. He has directed our steps, though I have wondered at times where He was going with all this, He is perfect in all His ways!
I am believing for a MUCH better 2008! In Jesus Name.
