finally, farewell to 2003!
...forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, i press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." phil 3:13-14
my prayer is that we as a body can keep each other accountable for the goals that we have set, and that we are constantly and fervently reaching for those things ahead which God has placed before us. thru our faith and perseverance, we will see the vine reach new levels of growth in numbers as well as in spirituality; we will see 180 and sna evolve in ways we couldn't have imagined; and most importantly, we'll see ourselves grow in faith as the Grace of God abound in our lives. it's the time for us (well me, at the least) to step up and be the example in all ways... remembering the word dawn gave us last nite - it is soooo worth repeating - "... they flattered Him with their mouth, and they lied to Him with their tongue; for their heart was not steadfast with Him, nor were they faithful in His covenant". wat a challenge - i hope that i'm not the only one who took it to heart! 2004 babyyyyyyyy it's gonna be a great year!
