Hello;

First let me start out by saying we went to visit my Brother's Corps (church) last Sunday.  We had not called to tell him we were coming we just showed up.  It was great to see them, and to met their church folks.  They started out by singing the song "I'm in His hands"  The leader of the group kept saying I really don't know why we are singing this song, just was told by God to sing it this week. I kept thinking to myself, quick talking and sing the song, God is telling me (the person he wanted it sung for). I need to remember no matter what is going on in my personal life God is in control of everything.  He knows how I am going to do when I go for the next surgery, go to the next Appointment in the ARC.  He is already working in the lives of the doctor and the people I will be ministering too.

Now for the reason I was writing this blog.  My brother's sermon was well plan (again God spoke to me).  Here is a quick outline.

1.  We need to forget about the things that were not good last year. Luke 18:11-12

2.  We need to forget about the failures from this pass year.
               i.e. Spiritual life, business life, personal life

3.  We need to forget about the pass.  Get over being mad.  We need to forgive. Matthew 18:22
               We need to put down things in our pass and look to Jesus!

4.  We need to look toward the goal in Christ Jesus.  Philippians 3:12-14

We need to forget about the Good and Bad from last year and remember to look to God.

I really wish everyone could have been at his service on Sunday. I really think I was not the only one that was being spoke to on Sunday.  I do know God used my older brother on Sunday.  Thanks Art for letting God use you on Sunday to speak to a heart that really needed to hear what you had to say. I know God is going to use you to bring many into his kingdom.

God bless you as you enter into His New Year.  I know God is going to bless you in many ways.
