Happy New Year!

From our family to yours we wish you a happy New Year.  May the LORD our God open many doors for each one of you.  May you step through these doors together with you family and your friends allowing God to guide you in the ways that He wants you to go.  Go with God because God is good all the time!



Psalm 90
A prayer of Moses the man of God.
Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations.
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
You turn people back to dust, saying, “Return to dust, you mortals.”
A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night.
Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of death, they are like the new grass of the morning:
In the morning it springs up new, but by evening it is dry and withered.
We are consumed by your anger and terrified by your indignation.
You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence.
All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan.
Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, or they quickly pass, and we fly away.
If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us, for as many years as we have seen trouble.
May your deeds be shown to your servants, your splendor to their children.
May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us, yes, establish the work of our hands.
 
Never once has God left you and never once will He leave you in the upcoming year!  May the words of this song give you peace in the year to come!

  1. A great way to start the New Year. I see you have crossed the threshold of the New Year and are traveling together with the Lord - a cord of three strands is not quickly broken. May your daily walk always be in His 'SonShine' as you serve Him here in Haiti.
