A few New Year’s thoughts: This photo was taken on December 9th of one of you, a busy woman just like all of us, who decided to take a few moments out of the holiday bustle to ponder God’s word, to breathe deep, and to be still. We all dispersed that evening into the night with hot cocoa in hand and the true Light in our hearts. Seems like a year ago. And the mayhem continued and still continues as I type this. And then on the 25th, ready or not, Christ was born into our hearts. And He’s still there, no matter how busy or tired you may be feeling right now. He wants to stay there, to make his home in you. And he wants to live 2026 right by your side. He doesn’t want you to feel alone or afraid, he holds the future in his mighty, yet tiny little hand. If you find it hard to trust God with your 2026, ponder that little baby, that mighty King they call Wonder Hero, Father Forever, Prince of Peace. Ponder the Light He brings, and once again, stand up with your candle, decide today as we ring in the New Year, that darkness has no power over you or your life, Hope has come. Light has come. Our prayer for each of you in our Lydia community for 2026 is that you never for a moment believe that God has left your side. May His favor be upon you and my His Light guide your way. Happy New Year friends!
