Goodbye 2006

The year 2006 was the year of extremes for our family. At times I felt like I was in sinking sand because of all the dents that God was allowing me to take. Looking back at all the drama of "TwelvEleven" I see the handprint of God's sovereign grace. I have never claimed to have done everything right during this time of clouded dialogue over differences of opinion on certain people and their beliefs, but I can say that my heart was in the right place. I believe I passed the test. Much to the credit of God and Laura.

To top off the year God gave Laura and I a wonderful gift in Hannah Grace. She reminds us of God's personal touch and love for His people. Laura is a wondeful Mother, and it is a privelage to see her at work. God also blessed us financially and allowed us to give more than we ever have. I do not boast of my own doing and will not be politically correct in saying that God really touched our finances. We treat our finances with much respect and have a full understanding that any pennie we may possess is ulitimately God's!

We both believe 2007 is going to be a great year for us in the Ministry of Jesus Christ and this would not be possible without the struggles (gifts in God's eyes) of 2006.

To Him be all glory, honor, and praise! Forever and ever, Amen!
