Hey friend

We are still in Pennsylvania but we will be flying back to san Francisco on Wednesday. Thank you for your prayers for the ticket changes that we had to make to get here early. The airline changed our tickets for free which is an absolute miracle. We had a wonderful Christmas time here with family. It was such a blessing to see all of them. Here is a link to our photo album from our time here in Pennsylvania.

He rules the world

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

On Christmas eve we went to a late night candle light service in a little country church in Pennsylvania. During the service we sang the famous Christmas carol “Joy to the world”. In the last verse the song talks about how Jesus rules the world. When I read over the news and hear how worried many are about politics and the situation in the world I believe that we often forget that. I believe that if we just look at circumstances our outlook could be sometimes really negative. But if we remind ourselves on a daily base that Jesus is in charge and that he hast the best plan, our perspective will change. Our eyes are focused on Him instead of circumstances and that changes everything. Start your new year with the knowledge that He rules and know that he knows the whole picture. Have a blessed start into 2013.
