"Goodbye 2007, Hello 2008"

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Revelations 19:1

In the beginning there was praise and in the end there will be also. What a year 2007was. Unbelievable! So this year will end with a journal of praise. My praise is how God has worked in my family. God has taken us and created a living breathing unit and although we struggle at times I know we are still together. My children are incredible. Isaiah is an awesome little boy. Last week I watched my boy handing out drinks to people of the community and what a sight it was. This year our family grew with the addition of our little one Leia, Daddy’s little girl. I’ve watched my wife become an unbelievable person of influence both in and outside of the church, she’s managed our home, she’s taken care of me, she’s supported me, held me up, slowed me down, put me in the right frame of thinking, she does so much to help me to succeed. My family is incredible. God has also surrounded me with an incredible group of people from the CWCM team with unbelievable hearts and hands. If there is one word that I could sum up the team with it would sacrifice. Each member has sacrificed time and energy in the midst of 40+ hour work weeks, and full time college schedules. Each member has sacrificed themselves leaving their place of comfort to be used by God in a greater way. Every week the CWCM team brings it, they bring their best, they bring their creative minds, servant hands, but most of all they bring heart.

New challenges, great heights, some lows, always an adventure would describe my life in 2007. I have much to be thankful for. God what new adventure would you take me on this year? Whatever comes my way, help me to slow down when I need do, help me to dream when all I see is the dark, help me to serve and give when I have nothing, help me to trust you when I can’t track you, help me to be a better husband, a better father a better leader, help me to be a better Anthony then I was last year. I praise you for all that You are, All that You have done, and All that You will do in 2008 In Jesus Name, amen.
