Here it is a new year - 2011 has begun, and we've already went through the first month of this new year and I have to say it has been a crazy start for the new year. The weather has been rough with all the ice and snow, and the cold seems to make things just kind of dreary and drab; it just kind of dampens the soul.
Not to mention the fact that with the Interim Pastoring I've been doing in Johnson City it seems like time is just flying by. Between preparing Sunday school lessons, preparing sermons, preparing Wednesday night Bible studies and preparing events and activities for the Joy Group at First Church; I really have to watch my scheduling and make sure that I take the time to get those things done.
Because people are depending on me to provide those things for them. I love being used to the Lord, and I am not complaining, I actually enjoy the pressure of having to prepare certain things. There's just something about my nature that I work pretty good under pressure. But besides all that I really enjoy serving the Lord.
The only thing that comes to my mind and really is noticeable to me in the first month of the first year is just how fast time has went by. I mean, it seems like we just celebrated Christmas and New Year's is already gone and here we are with only 11months left in this new year; time flies!
Well anyways, the only thing that I really wanted to say on this blog was that things are going very good with the Interim Pastoring at Tacoma.
For the most part, the family is healthy and well, and I really just can't give the Lord enough thanks for all the blessings He's given to me and my family.
Before you know it this year will be over and we'll start another, but there can always be something exciting about this year; something exciting to happen each day, I just pray that it doesn't go by so fast that I don't notice and appreciate each day the Lord is giving me.
A servant of HIS!
