Closing 2008, Part Three.

Here we are, December 31, 2008, the completion of another year. It's the completion of four months of this blog, which began on August 31.

A very special thank-you to the following persons who God used in founding this blog:

Sister LillyJune
Sister Marilyn
Pastor Sam
Pastor Benji

Our conversations, in person and via e-mail, were the "kindling" for this blog. We all sensed very strongly that a forum was needed in which we could further reflect on the Sunday sermons, and for several months our reflections were limited to private conversations and e-mails. But in August the Lord lit a match... and I found myself consumed with a desire to create this blog as the vehicle for reflection, a thing that could be shared across a larger group.

As I shared with Devon a few days ago, this blog really does line up with the church's mission to be a redemptive influence in the Bronx and in the world, to the glory of God. Glossa Water has been set into place as a international tool for spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ, and how I glorify Him for the opportunity.

I'd appreciate your prayers for 2009, particularly in the area of how this blog can be further developed as we all grow, and are transformed, from glory to glory.

My friends, thank you for reading. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for your encouragement. I pray that 2009 will be the year that God shows up for you in amazing and miraculous ways.

Love,
Genise
