2012

Pretty sure this is the most excited I (Vicki) have been to start a new year.  2011 was not a particularly bad year....just glad it is over.

We are anticipating God is going to move mightily in and through our lives in 2012.  Here are some of the reasons:

Brian's career - Brian has stepped out in faith and is working on his own.  Much of this is due to his health, doing this if he is having a bad day, he can rearrange what he does.  He has two companies he is doing work for with a third in the wings.  This also gives him the freedom to spend time with family.

Grandbaby - sometime in June our first grandchild will be born!!  We are SOOOOOO excited to take on this new role.

Missions - in February we will be headed to Rocky Point to help build a house in three days.  Wow.  This is an area we have never served together so it will be a stretching experience.

Finances - we are trusting God 100% with our finances.  Early in 2011 we began tithing the full 10% based on

Malachi 3:10 "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.  Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it."

So far we have been amazed at God (why is it we limit Him??).  The only unpaid medical bill is West Valley Hospital and we are making payments.  All of our bills have been paid on time.  We have been able to be generous with our children and with giving.  God is faithful to His promises.

Growing closer to our Lord and to each other - we can't wait to see where God grows us both to Him and to each other.   God never wastes a hurt, He is using our life story to encourage others.  Wherever He wants us - that is where we will be.

So our prayer for 2012 is God will challenge you to move from where you are to the place He wants you to be in obedience to His will.  Then His blessings will knock your socks off.

Abba Father is so good.
