Our church just celebrated our one year anniversary this past Sunday. Wow, it's hard to believe it's already been a year. As I reflected over that past year I couldn't help but think about how God has worked in the lives of our congregation. I think of Tim, who just a year ago, helped teach a vacation bible school class and was nervous as all get out. God has grown Tim to a point of complete confidence and self assurance in knowing that he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. I think of Cole, Tims stepson, who will bring you to tears everytime he prays. I think of my sister in law who this past year accepted Christ at their kitchen table and her husband who has grown tremedously in the Lord over this past year. I think of Ralph, who when moved by God, stopped by someones house he didn't even know to share the Gospel. I think of my family. Christina, who's a part of the churchs dance team, who a year ago wouldn't have gotten up in front of a group for love nor money. I think of my wife Teresa and how she's grown. How she's learned to let things go and just have a total and utter dependance on Jesus Christ. I think of my little girl Mary who's become my little prayer warrior. I thank God for my son Jake who says the blessing at every meal even in public. I praise God for our pastors who give of themselves everyday. I praise God for Gedwin and Barbara and Bruce and Kay who bring a love of God and wisdom to the church that we all could learn from. I just thank God for this past year at our church and I can't wait to see what he's got in store for us this coming year. If you're ever in the beautiful mountains of NC stop by and see us.
