New Beginning

This past year has been a very challenging year in every aspect of my life. However, having travelled a little longer in life, having been down the road a little further, I’ve been able to see the hand of God at work in new, fresh, and exciting ways.

For several years now, a good friend of mine has been offering us the opportunity to plant a church to the biker community where we live. After hearing his “Macedonian Call (and lot’s of prayers),” we have decided that on May 21st, we will be launching the start of Rally Point Biker Church.

We all have our messes in life. We all say things at times we wish we could take back. We do things we wish we could undo. Too often, we also miss opportunities. And the truth is, this happens in almost every facet of our lives – whether at work or home, with our friends, our co-workers and even our families. We hurt the people that are closest to us, and at times, we disappoint God (not that we catch Him off guard). I think it is through these hard times in our lives that we really learn to appreciate a fresh start, a new beginning – an opportunity to turn our backs on the past and focus on the future, with the hope that “this time around, things are going be better!”

There’s something exciting about starting over—new challenges, new experiences, new opportunities. So, my prayer for my family (and for yours) is that we make this fresh start, a new and fresh dedication – to God, to our families, and to each other. We have goals, big plans, things we want to accomplish – and we know it is not going to be easy, but with the Bible as our roadmap and Christ as our Road Captain, we are excited about starting a fresh new journey on this roadway called life!
