Family,
Can you believe it? It is 2017!
I suppose this time of year puts people in a reflective mood. Last week I spent a little bit of time looking back on the last twelve months. There were some tough times, but there were a lot of good times. Here are just a few of my personal memories.
- Joaquin started kindergarten…watch out world!
- Lorena began her third year teaching kindergarten and was chosen to be team leader. I’m so proud of her!
- Lorena and I were able to redeem two free airline tickets and vacation in France for a couple of weeks. God is good!
Last year was also an important year for our church. We entered into a season of rest and discovering God’s rhythm for our lives and church family. Throughout the year we sought the Lord in prayer believing that God would usher us into a season of fruitfulness and a harvest of transformed lives. I am ready to see our prayers answered.
There is much to do, but before we charge into 2017, I wanted to take some time to reflect on 2016, and thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord and his people at Abounding Grace Ministries. God has been faithful to our church. He is opening doors every day. People are being impacted by your involvement and generosity.
I’d love to hear from you. What did God do in your life in 2016? Please hit reply and let me know.
Peace, Justice and Love!
Pastor Lou
