Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful Christmas and are so thankful for the time with our family and friends. We are also thankful for two wonderful children who did an amazing job on the trip South and held it together much better than their mother did.

I am not making any resolutions this year. Instead I have decided to pray over a verse each month. After making an incredibly long trip to the South for the holidays, trying to recover from my Christmas hangover, and beginning my seventh month of pregnancy I have to decided Colossians 1:11 is appropriate for this month:

We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light.
