The year is coming to an end, yet I sense so much is just beginning. I'm beginning to understand the mercies of God that are new every morning...washing my sins clean through confession and placing me in right standing before the Father...identified as His son...too much...too much...but enough...more than enough. I'm beginning the journey of becoming a father of five for the first time as Willow makes her way into the world...not yet...very soon. What a miracle birth is...as a parent, no matter how many times it has happened before, it is always, always like the breath of God upon your face...the beginning of life. Amazing.
Our church looks to a new beginning...a new vision of discipleship... growing...going...telling...teaching...come and see. It's very exciting to think of what will be 12 months from now. Lord Jesus, You are the Alpha and Omega...the First and the Last...The End...The Beginning...my Beginning...period...the end.
