2017: What a ride!

1/18/2017

Comments

 
Having arrived back in Pretoria just over a week ago, we've braved the jet lag, settled in, and are getting into a good rhythm of work and ministry again. It was so good to see friends and family for Christmas. We hope your Christmas season was blessed, and we trust for your 2017 to be full of the blessings and purposes of God.
Last month as New Year's Eve approached, I noticed how many people were excited for 2016 to end. Conversation and social media were littered with epithets of relief about the coming end of the year.
Good riddance!
So glad this one's over and done with!
Well, that sucked. Here's to 2017.
The more of these I saw and heard, the more I began to remember: I hear the same things every year.
So I made a decision: when 2017 ends, I will have lived in such a way that I say, What a ride! Can't wait to see what God has in store for 2018!
Years don't have to be awful. This one's going to be great​.
​And that is our prayer for you in 2017: that through the roller coaster of circumstances 2017 will bring, you remain in the center of His will and wide awake to His life and purposes in you, strengthened by His grace, comforted by His peace, and thrilled by His joy and goodness--until December arrives and you say, What a ride!
​May the Lord bless you richly this year!
​Mike

Whether it's looking down at a screen or looking down at circumstances: don't miss 2017! It's going to be a great ride!
