We had a great night last night! Bobby challenged the group to contend for the deeper things of the Lord this year and to increase our prayer lives. One way to do this is to read and pray the Psalms every day. Since today is January 1 we would read Psalm 1 and pray it back to the Lord. We are trying to get away from petition only prayers and focus more on communion style prayers. People claim that "Jesus is their best friend", but how can you have a best friend if you don't talk to them and have a close relationship? We have such a personal God who loves us so much and is waiting for us to draw near to Him (James 4:8). When we stop our busy lives to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord, we delight our heavenly Father's heart (Song of Solomon 4:9). I challenge you to dive deep into the Word this new year for in it is life!!
Some of the group eating dessert.
We are updating pictures for the wall in the CCG room at church so each of us took a pic in the Happy New Year hat.
The Wii was fun and entertaining. Kody and Kassidy were boxing each other.
They really got into it!
While the wii games were going on I taught Uwakima (pronounced Y-ma) how to play speed. She had never played cards before, since she grew up in Nigeria, and so the pace was slow.
She beat me once and DANCED! She's funny!
