Floyd & Sally McClung

I can’t believe we’re already a month into a new year!  Where did 2006 go?  It seemed to fly by!  Of course, I guess making a big international move had a little something to do with that.

We’ve had major things happening in these few beginning weeks of the year - wind, heat, fire, death.  There haven’t been many “quiet” days.  It’s felt at times like living in a war zone - certainly spiritually, if not physically.  You can almost feel the battle raging for the hearts and minds of people.  The enemy is at work, but God is the victor.

When the year began, I found myself praying and asking the Lord about what this year held in store.  There seemed to be lots of possibilities, a few certainties, and many questions.  I felt He spoke the verse at the bottom into my heart.  What a comfort to know that He’s with us, and He doesn’t fail.

I am a detailed, organized person.  I like to have “my ducks in a row.”  I like to know what’s around the corner so I can get ready and be prepared.  The last two years have been full of change, new beginnings…….and uncertainty. Uncertainty is hard for me, but, through the years, I’ve learned to be more flexible.  And I can be secure because of trusting the one who is our Rock!

A whole new year with lots of possibilities - and one absolute certainty……..He is with us!!

“It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not fail you.”  Deut. 31:8
