Hello NC,
At the end of every year, we think about what happened in that year. There is always a tension between incredibly joyful and painful times. As one pastor put it, “Life is brutiful.” A combination of brutal and beautiful. Whether 2024 was brutal or beautiful for you, one thing we remember is that our joy, hope, and peace are not dependent upon just what happens in this life. It’s dependent upon the good news that Jesus, the King, has come. This is the anchor of our faith.
I want to encourage you as we end this year to reflect upon the good things God has done in your life. Remember the goodness and faithfulness of God. Remember that He is true to His promises and that He has the ultimate victory over sin, death, and the grave.
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Jordan, Nadine, Aryana & Eilyn
