As you reflect over this past year, has 2019 gone as planned? If you’re 2019 was like ours, it probably hasn’t. Although some things went better than plan, many did not.

Although I can’t control the economy or those around me, I can pause at year-end to reflect and learn.

Year-end is a great time to thank God for His blessings, reflect on mistakes made and to celebrate God’s goodness.

This last year I’ve heard from many of you who are diligently trying to live and model God’s principles. My encouragement to each of you is from Philippians 1:6, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Have a Happy New Year!
