Goodbye 08 Hello 09

Posted Sunday, December 28, 2008, at 9:34 AM

As the New Year approaches we look back at the past and see what we can change for the better , or do to make a difference. I finished up the year with a total loss of ten lbs., I plan to keep up the effort.

I increased my study time with the bible, and the holy spirit without compromising my family or other time, like work and stuff like that.

I finished the year in good health, I hope to keep up in 09, ended the year on a pretty decent financial note, with today's outlook, that may not be in our hands.

Goals for 09 is to bring Crossroads into existence, to make it leap off the pages of this blog and others that I do and get a group to go with me to take the Word of God out to the streets and keep the good fight going.

Enemies of the faith are adding up, and we must not surrender, even unto death.

With the economy and the social issues here in our own backyard, with the tension in Israel heating up, and all other problems, who knows what we have to look for in 09.

Just remember to have faith in God, read his word, and he will bring you through the tough times ahead.

Thank him for the good, thank him for the bad, in all things give thanks.

Most of all , to get closer to God than ever before.

Have a blessed and Christ filled New Year.

Another year closer to the victory.

Hope I can successfully help this coming year with Crossroads.

Thanks for this year of your work that is coming to a close and I hope 09 is just as fruitful.

I thank God for every day He allows me to be with my family and friends. This year was a hard one but thank God I made it through it, ALMOST, that is . The year is not quiet over yet. Michael, you just keep on spreading God's Word, and don't let anything or anyone stop you in doing what God tells you to do. 2008 has been a wonderful year, reading your blogs except for all the hate some of you readers show, but you just keep on preaching the message and people will keep on reading. One thing I ask is, don't make them so long, you tend to lose an old person like myself before I get to the end (HA) Love and best wishes for the new year and keep up the good work.

gratitude is key in a relationship with the Holy Spirit. I try to focus on three things a day that i am grateful for no matter what.

We could always find the bad in things, but God is so good and has richly blessed us with so much.

Have a great New Years Micheal.
