2008, Wow

What can I say, I know that God is got some amazing things planned for us this year. We will be opening up our home in the near future to meet, worship, learn, seek, and celebrate Him. God is so awesome. Am I having to give up things? Yes, but to follow the will of God is more important, and that is what is important to our family. Why would I do this? One, God has always had some aspect in my life I believe since I was a little boy. As a boy, I don't remember going to church a lot, but I do remember watching cartoons on weekends. This was before cable tv. Now cartoons were not on very long on Sunday, but one in particular was Davey and Goliath. It was about a boy name Davey and his family and their dog, Goliath. The family served God in some aspect but the show focused on lot on Davey and Goliath and the everyday adventures that they had. Now we have talking vegetables and fruits and pirates, OH MY!. I like watching them too. Especially with the kids.

Two, I believe that it was God who got me through the Persian Gulf War. I don't believe I did that on my own. Did I see battle?, No, but I did pass some scenes of remnants of us moving into Iraq and MP's guarding EPW's (Enemy Prisoners of War, we were told that a lot of them gladly gave themselves up because they knew how they would be treated by Allied Forces.). I didn't have much of God as far as learning and was really walking with him then but one thing I did have was the music of Stryper. Their songs did help my get through some of the times there.

Three, He joined my life with Lisa. Lisa and I have seen some dark days that without God as a
central part of our life and the church we belonged too, we wouldn't have made it. Our Pastor, believed in us a lot knowing that God would pull us through. I wished he wouldn't have retired but God knows what He is doing.

So now 2008 has come around. A year that will see big things happen and to allow big things to happen. So ask yourself this question, what will you allow God to do for you in 2008?
