*Happy New Year*

What a wonderful year 2011 was; full of so many memories and joyous times of celebration!  It has been a pure delight watching Ryan grow up and having her in our family.  Words can't express the joy she brings to our lives daily as we watch her grow into the sweet little person she is.  What a gift she is from the Lord and an ever present reminder of His faithfulness to His Word and His promises.  We look forward to 2012 and all that God has for our family.  We know this upcoming year will be full of blessings and many wonderful gifts; His Perfect Love; and never ending favor.  Our family longs to see ALL that He has in store for us unfold this upcoming year. 

My pray this year for our family is what Paul said in Ephesians 1:16-18 & 3:16-19 (NLT) "I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give us spiritual wisdom and insight so that we might grow in our knowledge of God. I pray that our hearts will be flooded with light so that we can understand the confident hope he has given to us, those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower us with inner strength through his Spirit.  Then Christ will make his home in our hearts as we trust in him. Our roots will grow down into God’s love and keep us strong. And may we have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.  May we experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then we will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God." 

It's His Love that makes us complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God!  This is living a full life!  May 2012 be a year of deeper revelation and experiential knowledge of His love, favor, goodness, faithfulness, and delight in our lives and home.  To Him be the glory!  He has done GREAT things!
