It’s been a while since I’ve had time to share. One of my resolutions this year is to be consistent with this blog, so here goes.

We are in a new series at Dardenne Prairie Church called Finding Hope in the Middle of Winter. As I reflected on 2010, it was obvious that many of us found ourselves living out Plan B. Rather than the path and plan we thought we should be on, we are on a different course. It’s a lot like the winter storm that hit the east coast last week. It left the roads covered with 20 inches of snow and people struggling to find their way.
Psalm 29:11 says “The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace.” This year, my prayer for you is that you receive his strength and peace. When you feel abandoned or lost, keep looking for him. We’re called to be faithful even when it seems he hasn’t been faithful to us. Of course, we find out that he has been there all along.
In the midst of the winter you may be facing, keep worshipping. As I shared in my message a couple of weeks ago, any relationship minus time, eventually will result in the death of that relationship. If you are searching, feeling abandoned, or lost, you need to spend even more time with God. It’s the only way you’ll be able to hear his voice and know what he wants for your life. Spend time with him. Then you can know his peace in your life. May God pour his grace and peace upon you and your family in 2011.
