From the pastor’s desk...
Text Box: CLEAN SLATE Isaiah 40: 28b - 31 says, “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired and weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary, and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” As we stand on the brink of a new year, it is interesting to look at a 2012 calendar. At first there are no appointments, no trips, no luncheons, no dinners, no church meetings, not much of anything- a pretty clean slate. That can feel pretty good for some and maybe not so good for others. But a calendar will not stay clean very long (especially, if I get hold of it!!). Many folks already have doctors and dentist appointments for 2012. Church meetings will continue on the normal schedule of Wednesday night dinners and activities and Sunday school and Worship each week and additional meetings scheduled often!! Then there are those Red Hat luncheons, and dinners with family and friends, birthdays, anniversaries, and the list goes on and on. So let’s begin the scheduling and let’s start with a look at our calendars through the lenses of faith. The question for 2012 then becomes, “What does God want to do on the pages of our calendars in 2012?” This is a new year… a new beginning… with new possibilities and God is the One who can make all things new and renewed through faith. Our calendars should be placed before God so that He is the One to place the right activities and opportunities in our schedules according to His plans for us. God can renew and desires to renew His Church and His people. He waits for us to seek His face and get out of the way. May 2012 be the Year of the Lord for each of us. Pray that God will renew our strength and our faith!! HAPPY NEW YEAR- 2012 Blessings, Pastor Barbara
