Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Your CMI team is back in action. Did you miss us? We are looking forward to another year of serving you and our students here in Warrenton.

Can you believe it is 2008? A new year stretching ahead is exciting. It’s like a book full of blank pages just waiting to be filled in. Writer Edith Lovejoy Pierce said, “We will open the book: Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day.”
So, what will you write in your book this year? As Christians we don’t put much importance on making resolutions. But we all have hopes and dreams—prayer goals—for the days ahead. Our books will fill with our experiences, our successes and failures and the lessons we learn. Each of us will look back on our book at the end of the year and see how God directed our days and ordered our steps.

Our prayer for you in this New Year is that you will experience God’s tangible presence, sense His unmistakable direction, rejoice in His unfailing love and grow in His amazing grace.

What are your prayer goals for the year ahead? Click the comment link below this post and share with us what you want to see God do in your life and/or ministry in 2008.

Happy New Year to all of you at CMI! I agree we don't need to make resolutions--I think prayer goals are a much better idea.

Since I know my ministry success depends on God's working in our midst, my prayer goal for 2008 is to work at specific ways to deepen my walk with God. I want to be more consistent in my own devotional time and also begin a more disciplined program of memorizing God's Word.

I look forward to seeing what God will do through my life and ministry this year as I develop my own walk with Him. Thanks for the reminder!
