Wrapping up last year

2008 |
I'll have to say, the better half of the year was actually the second half. God has taught me a lot in the past couple months. If you read 2 posts ago, I had said I was not the same person I was. And wow, just to think about the change I have undergone/going through right now is great.

Some of the things I was reminded of that I will carry onto the new year:

1. In order to live by faith, you must live a faithful life, that of living a Christ-centered life, a life of worship
2. Be still and know He is God
3. His strength is great in our weakness

I can say that I can tie up the end year with a nice, pretty bow.

'09 is not mine, it is God's.

Thank you Lord for making all things NEW!

Christmas Makes Me Cry | Mandisa & Matthew West

I think of loved ones who’ve passed away
And I pray their resting in a better place
I think of memories of years gone by
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of soldiers across the sea
Sometimes I wonder its them instead of me
For my freedom they give their lives
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know
There is peace on earth for every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of families, I think of home
And say a prayer for those who spend this time alone
Cause love can reach out into a silent night
And that’s why Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know
There is peace on earth for every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

I think of Mary and the virgin birth
And I’m amazed at how much God thinks we’re worth
That He would send His only Son to die
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry

Tears of thankfulness, tears of hope
I cry tears of joy at Christmas cause I know
There is peace on earth for every heart to find
And sometimes Christmas makes me cry
