Better Beginning

My wife and I were talking the other night about the start of the new year (2013). She stated that she hoped that this year would be better than last year. Who doesn't hope that the new year is better than the year before.

As we were talking I stated to her that we are off to a better beginning this year than last. She asked how.

 Well first off, I have a full time job, compared to this time last year. Not only did I have a full time job, I recieved a twenty five percent pay raise before the end of the year. Not a bad way to start off a new year, right!

Second, my wife has a new and better paying job herself. She had to travel some distance the first few months of the new work, but at the end of the year, her drive was cut in half.

The start of 2013 also saw me as a certified pastor. In Janurary of 2012 I had just started my second year of ISOM. A full year later, I am certified. Praise the Lord!

Our daughter is a freshman in high school.

We've made some new friends, got in touch with some old ones and continued to build the ones that we already have.

God is so good to us. His provision is amazing. We are only eight days into the new year and we can already see what He is doing in our lives in 2013. I just pray that He continues to reveal to us, what He wants us to do, when and where.
