WOW!! It is now 2009. It was hilarious this morning when we drove into our Church parking lot and it was JAMMED PACKED! There was not a single place to park. Funny, in the sense that almost all workout gyms and church parking lots are full right after those "New Year Resolutions" are made. Travis and I walked into Sunday School, and there was not an open chair. This is wonderful, but why isn't it always like this? Well, if there is a Sunday that I want all my friends to be at Sunday school, this was the day. Our class for the past few years, has been helping "The Stanfield family." I put their name in "quotes", because for the past few years, they have just been people that Travis and I have been praying for and sending money to, but not a face or stories to put with them. We were blessed today to have them lead our Sunday school class and share their amazing life in Masiphumelele, South Africa. Their name is no longer the "Stanfield Family"...it is Kevin, Tonya, Chesney and Asher Stanfield. I admire the strong faith that they have in the Lord. When they spoke, you could really feel and see Christ working in them. I was so moved by their dedication and love for Jesus. They lit a little fire under my tail. And boy do I need that fire, I need a stinkin' blow torch! They made me want to grow even closer with our Lord. I am not sure what is in store for me, but I will be praying and searching. I ask for your prayers as well. So this is my goal, not resolution...I want to be a "light" for others. I want others to see Christ shine in and through me and yearn for more of Him. What are your "resolutions"?

ReplyDeleteyou got an award - come by and pick it up :)
ReplyDeletethe "tagged" part of the award means you can't pass it on to anyone who has already gotten the award - but sometimes that's hard to know....... Bottom Line - my friend is.....You really don't have to do anything with the award if you don't want to :) I was just passing it on.... In the serious blogging land.. people hand out these awards and you are supposed to display them on your blog as a form of advertisement .... (if that's your thing...) I personally choose not to do so... I just pass them on and let people do what they want to do with it. So no worries.... you can just take it as a compliment or you can pass it on? it's all good :)
