To God - January 18, 2008

Hey God-

First of all, I want to thank you for allowing me to go on the trip to Gatlinburg. It was so much fun. It was so awesome to view some of your mighty creation. I was in awe a lot of the time.

Below are some of my favorite pictures from the trip...Thanks to Anna for taking them!!!

This is my favorite picture...

Right before we ate at some restaurant. I can't think of the name. Joe looks like some man who just walked up from behind and jumped in the picture.

If you can't tell Joe fell into the water and I was cracking up because I had just warned him that the rocks were slick.

Kyle and I in some big ol' rocking chair.

Well thanks again God for that opportunity. I am so thankful to be able to do that kind of stuff. I can't wait for the next trip, I'm thinking it is going to be a cruise.

Classes started this week and the end of my undergrad is in sight. I think I will be able to squeeze what I have left into one more semester. I am enjoying my classes so far, I think I will learn a lot. It is so awesome to have a great job too. I was calculating to see how much less I would have made on this paycheck if I was still at my old job and it was more than $100 and I had only worked 23 hours this paycheck. God you are awesome!

Church has been unbelievable too. There is just such excitement and anticipation in the air. It's almost like Christmas morning each time we come to church because we are all expecting something awesome to happen and it always does.

My Pastor Brian preached awesome last night. He said "2008 is our year" and he also said that this is our year for harvest and prosperity. I could have exploded listening to him. I got so excited. He was saying the importance of being positive and speaking things into action, because the Bible says that "Life and Death lie in the power of the tongue" Proverbs 18:21. So I am going to stop speaking negative and speak positive. He also spoke of writing things down and the power that is in that. So I am going to write down things I KNOW WILL HAPPEN this year...

My dad will once again be saved and will serve God with all of his being at Victory Worship Center.

My mom will also move to Victory Worship Center and work with my dad in a powerful children's ministry.

I will lose weight.

I will grow deeper in my relationship with God.

I will get straight A's the next two semester's at Miami.

I will do outstanding on the LSAT's.

I will get into a great law school - the school God wants me to be in!

I will walk perfectly in God's will.

I will lead many people to Christ.

I will see all of my lost family and friends saved.

My church family will see their family and friends saved.

Victory Worship Center will move into a huge building that allows us to do all the ministries that fall within the vision of Pastor Brian Sawyers.

Those called by God to join Victory Worship Center will come without hesitation.

Our church will grow in spirit, number and financially.

I cannot wait to see these things happen God. I pray that you move upon hearts even now and lead and guide me and those who are seeking your will.

Love you God!

Andy
