We love New Year's, mainly because it's a chance for new starts. Have you noticed lately that resolutions are viewed much more skeptically these days? Sure, probably everyone has failed at them at least once. But they do offer hope for change that we feel we need. It was December of 2008 when our family talked about a resolution: not drinking soda for a year. Just a few days ago, we celebrated together with a toast of Mt. Dew to our accomplishment.
This year we're at it again. Only this time, we're doing 12 resolutions, 1 month at a time. We decide tonight as a family which one is first, and we start tmrw.
(We're also participating in a type of 'read through the Bible' concept Jeff came up with called
4 Chapters A Day, check it out)
As 2010 rolls around, we're back full on attending
Kentwood Community Church. Being back this morning felt like home, We love KCC, and we are excited about what God is doing there.
Pastor Kyle's message today was great, I enjoy hearing him and sense an anointing upon his leadership and teaching. So we feel a new beginning at KCC in 2010.
We ended the year beginning a
new adventure. We closed out the year at a
youth convention for the
Wesleyan denomination. Hundreds of schools and thousands of students heard about
Claim Your Campus. The response to the mission/vision of CYC was more than we thought. It was fun as a family to participate in representing CYC at one of the event sites in Louisville, KY.
We can't wait to see what happens next in 2010!
Have a blessed year and decade.
