HAPPY NEW YEAR! It´s already 2007! time passed by so fast last year. It was an emotional year for me, but I learned so much about myself - who I am, and how I reacted under certain situations. Very interesting.

I´m thankful that God had shown Himself as my faithful and loving Father and Friend in 2006! Thank You! My desire for myself and you is that we will know through experience, His wonderful Presence, love and power within our lives this new year.

Last year I read more books than other years, and I want to continue to do that. So, here are some quotes I want to share with you guys, from a book I´m currently reading: Johnson, Bill. Dreaming with God.

p. 88 - "Royalty is my identity. Servanthood is my assignment. Intimacy with God is my life source. So, before God, I´m an intimate. Before people, I´m a servant. Before the powers of hell, I´m a ruler, with no tolerance for their influence. Wisdom knows which role to fulfill at the proper time."

p. 89 - "Every believer is in full-time ministry - only a few have pulpits in sanctuaries. The rest have their pulpit in their areas of expertise and favor in the world system. Be sure to preach only good news. And when necessary, use words."

p. 72 - "The Scriptures are the basis for all "hearing" from God. While God will not violate His Word, He often violates our understanding of His Word. Remember, God is bigger than His book. The Bible does not contain God; it REVEALS Him."
