Seeking God, serving the community, supporting each other!
A New Season Has Begun ,
Isaiah 43:18-19 says: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” – NIV
For the last few years, this text has been both comforting and challenging for me. On one hand, the thought that God has something new for us to experience despite how things look around us is exciting; then, there are times when seeing the new thing that God wants us to encounter is difficult because it is so hard to forget the past – good or bad. Yet, God is asking us to behold something new.
I challenge us all to come alive in 2025 and remember that our best days are not behind us: The best is yet to come!
As we navigate the changes that are happening all around us, let us not forget that no matter how it looks, God is with us.
Blessings,
Pastor Marie
