To me, the New Year always brings mixed feelings and emotions-excitement about the things to to come, anxiety about the future, thankfulness for God's blessings in my life, regrets about the last year-the list could go on and on... In 2009, I pray that Catalyst could grow inward and outward. Lord, let us be Christian brothers and sisters, lifting one another up in prayer. Lord, let us also be witnesses and disciples for you, sharing your love and blessings with the world.
In 2009, I pray that everyone in this class be showered with blessings and remember the words to this old hymn:
I am weak but Thou art strong, Jesus keep me from all wrong;
I'll be satisfied as long, As I walk let me walk close to Thee!
Just a closer walk with Thee, Grant it Jesus, is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee, Let if be dear Lord, Let it be.
I would also like to add a special prayer request that has been on my heart since Friday evening, a prayer for the Romph family. They are members of my church back home in Missouri and I used to babysit for their older children. On Friday night, their 5 year-old daughter, Margaret, was in a horrific car accident that has left her paralyzed from the neck down and if she lives, she will be on a ventilator for the rest of her life. I ask that you all could lift her and her family up in your prayers, especially her older sister, Erin, who was driving the car at the time of the accident. There are thousands of people across the nation praying for her recovery, but she could always use a few more :) You may read about her-and see her precious pictures-on her website: www.caringbridge.org/visit/margaretromph Thank you all!
Blessings in the new year!
"Evening and morning and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud; and he shall hear my voice." Psalm 55:17
