Us on Christmas in the Lobby of our apartment
Happy New Year everybody! 2012 has arrived! We spent New Years eve at some of our friends’ apartment who live on the 22nd floor. We could see a ton of fireworks going off in the whole city, all at the same time. Fireworks are legal here and a whole lot of people shot them off. It was neat to see all of the fireworks and get to spend some time with our friends. We didn’t even get used to writing 2011 on documents and we have to change again! Time seems to go faster and faster, maybe it has something to do with getting older. Derek recently celebrated his 27th birthday, and Audrey isn’t very far behind.
New Years is a great time to reflect back on the prior year, and look ahead to the next one. It’s a time to see what all we can do to improve ourselves, or change. We’re not real big on resolutions necessarily, but it’s good to evaluate how we do things, and seek to do some things better. This shouldn’t be done only once a year, but a fresh calendar year does allow for a clean break, or a fresh beginning.
We hope that you choose to follow God more closely and intimately this year. We seek to spend time with him daily, and see all that he has for our lives. We look forward to growth in our spiritual lives and seeing all that God has in store for this year. Serving and following Him are the best things we could be doing, and where he wants us to be is where we need to be! God bless and may 2012 be our best year yet!
Please consider joining us here in Panama through prayer. The January prayer calendar is located on the prayer requests and prayer calendar page. This month many different neighborhood names are mentioned for us to be lifting up. Thanks!
Derek and Audrey Tucker
