Welcome back. You belong here.
I'm looking forward to December. In some ways it will/has been tough, in other ways it's part of the growth God is taking me through. I've been able to delegate the big things in December (ministry side) in order to spend time with friends and family, reconnecting, remembering gramma and being together.
This has been intentional as January and the Spring of 2006 will be a time of new ministry, growth, new worship services and fresh vision. I wanted to take December to seek God and have the emotional and physical strength for this new ministry season in 2006.
Exciting stuff.
Here's my December schedule:
