New Start to a new Year!!

I know the beginning of every new year people make new promises but give up very quick. Have you thought of something this year on what you want to do or change in your life? Have you already gave up on that and said you will start next year. I know I have already given up on what I wanted to change by going to In-N-Out  three  time in a week when I was back in CA.
One thing I love about God is that He never gives up! He makes us promises and always comes through. There have been so many times I want to give up on God and try to do the things of my flesh. Every time I fail and I get into my flesh God is always next to me saying "I haven't given up on you" "My grace is enough". How true is that in our lives? That out God will never give up on us and He has given up on us and that He is grace is sufficient for us and His power is made perfect in our weakness. (2 Corinthians 12:9).
God has me back in Iwakuni, Japan and one thing I prayed to God was that I will not let my fears and my weakness be an excuse to not do the work God that He wants me to do. We have no excuse to just live these ok, half effort, fearing, lives because Gods grace is sufficient.
May this be a challenged in our life this year that every time God says "go" in our life that we will "go" that every time He says to "love" we will  "love" every time He says "stay" we will "stay".
Last year I chased fully the desires  of my heart that God has given me and that is why now I am here in Iwakuni, Japan doing things I thought would be only just dreams in my head. CHASE the desires of your heart that the Lord has put on your heart! Make sure it is from the Lord and chase it!!! Don't let laziness and fear get in the way of something great, something that you thought would only be just a dream, something awesome that God has for you!!! GOD HAS NO LIMITS!! Keep that close to your heart!
Let this year be focused on God and His grace. We can do so much more in this life then we believe we can because God is for us.


Please keep praying for the church here in Iwakuni, Japan. Pray that many people here will be saved this year. That the eyes of the lost will be opened and they will come and know a God who has something so much more for them!!!
