Guess what I learned?

Well, yesterday was my birthday. Another year under my belt and a few more lessons in the bag. Here’s what I’ve learned.

1-God is always WITH US. I’ve seen it over and over again this past year. When things are good, when times are difficult and any other time…HE IS WITH US!

2-Community is a special place! I love our church family. I continue seeing God move and work in people’s lives. It’s such an honor to be a part of this church!!

3-Life is unpredictable. This is not a new lesson, but one that I got to revisit a few times in the past year. At the same time, I’m reminded Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! So no matter the changes we face, Jesus doesn’t change!

4-I am blessed!!! I do say this a lot…but that’s because it’s true. Thank you God!

“Here’s another way to put it: You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you’ll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:14-16 MSG)
