January 1, 2019


I hope that your holidays have been restful and that you’ve had time to regroup and relax. We have had such fun with our family! And now, it’s back to reality. 
Eye injection for me tomorrow, another doctor appointment on Friday, and back to Georgia for a PET scan next week. A friend just messaged me about her major surgery in the morning. So many friends and family members dealing with serious issues in their lives. 
Life is hard. There are lots of ups and downs that we can’t see coming. 
Pastor Patrick’s message this past weekend was so perfect for the new year, as he focused on the phrase “God Can”. And He can!! That thought ties so well with my devotion today (thank you for the wonderful gift, Ken Bradleyand Patty Roberts Bradley!!). Here’s a part of it: 
“You have the promise that God will never let you down, that He will be with you every day of the new year to lead you and help you, that He Himself will strengthen you whenever you need extra strength, that He will hold you tight with His own hand and will help and protect you.” 
Those are just some of the many things that God can and will do for us. I am thankful as we go into the new year that we are not alone and that He is with us!
“For I hold you by your right hand - I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.” Isaiah‬ ‭41:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬
