Can you believe it? 2011 will be officially over in less than an hour. I have got to hurry up and finish this so that I can sneak out of the house and go spend some time with the Lord looking over many different cities and really present myself and my family to Him!
2011 has come and gone by so fast! I cannot believe that we are already done with this year! It went by so fast! I would have to say it was the fastest year of my life. Is that because I am getting older? Anyways, as I sit here now in SoCal in my parents home, I would have to be honest with you... this is the last place I thought I would be sitting and living at the end of this year! Last year I was bringing in the new year with our friends in Germany with snow covering the ground. Today it was around 80 degrees or more as we departed the Disney on Ice event with my family! What a difference! While I must say that I do miss my friends so much in Germany and do miss what the Lord is doing in Europe, I am very thankful to be with my family during this holiday season in this warm weather. I am thankful that the LORD is in control and is working in many new ways!
2012! What will this new year bring? I am not sure, but it is so nice to know that I know the ONE who knows it all! As most of you know, we are in a season where we are waiting on the Lord and really seeking Him as to what is next for us! We are just two days away from the missions conference that we will be attending. We are really looking forward to go and hear from the Lord and what He has in store for us! I am so thankful that He is sovereign and in complete control. Some of these last days have been hard for us, in the sense that we really want to start making decisions and start having direction from the Lord. And yet I know that I have been told time and time again to wait and not rush ahead. So as we (the Ropers) look into this new coming year, we will have our eyes upon the LORD - for where else shall we go, He alone has the words of eternal life!
I am excited to see JESUS be glorified in our lives! I am excited to enjoy Jesus with my wife and kids! I am excited to grow in the grace and knowledge of Jesus in a new and living way this year!
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!
