If you want to say Happy Holidays you must not forget today is Kwanzaa. So…Happy Kwanzaa!
I hope you found Joy this Christmas as now we can start counting the days until next Christmas or 364 more days. This Christmas was cold and dark as I stayed in the frozen state of Alaska. On the way to Anchorage for Christmas Eve temps fell to -23 along the highway. When your nostril hairs freeze for being outside in 1 minute you know it is bitter cold. Nonetheless, I survived and yet another testimony that yes it is tougher in Alaska.
As we remember the birth of Christ and celebrate love, joy, forgiveness, and peace we must look forward to the new year in just 6 short days. 2011! Wow, time marches on. As time marches so does the date that I will be leaving. I look forward to be leaving the frigged temps to warmer topical climate near the equator. I am still working with the travel agency but it appears I will be leaving on the morning on Jan 21.
This past week was highlighted with the spectacular full lunar eclipse and witnessing the moon turn to an amber red before returning to a bright white full moon. Last time that a full lunar eclipse happened on winter solstice was in 1638. If the magi had a full moon as we experienced it, they would have been a great benefit as they traveled by night to the manger in Bethlehem. Christmas was shared with relatives and cousins over a ham and the side fixings. Of course, I went home with a gut plug that was righteous.
Of course New Years always bring light to New Years Resolutions. Let me challenge you this 2011 to ask what are you expecting God to do in your life in 2011? If you expect him to do a lot, God can do a lot. If you expect him to do a little, God can do a little. If you don’t expect him to do anything, he won’t do anything. But we must seek his kingdom first (Matt 6:33). We must seek God’s purpose and plan and righteousness for our lives, and that requires that we give him our trust. Ask God to help you give your trust entirely to him this coming year, and then watch what he does in your life.
