Happy New Year to my Dear Friends!

Dear Friends-

I pray that your holiday has been wonderful and blessed. 2009 has been the year of completion- completion of an era or a stage of development. 2010 begins a new season of expectation, work, and return on our investments. But dear friends, please be mindful.

You can't embrace the blessings of tomorrow while holding onto baggage from the past. You can't receive when your hands are closed. Open your hands and your hearts to the opportunities that present themselves this year. Forgive the ones who let you down.

Let go of old regrets. Regret is simply disappointment because YOUR plans weren't realized. Everything that happened last year was part of God's plan for your life.

Continue to be God-filled as you experience trials and setbacks. Don't allow anyone to steal your joy. Continue to operate under the armor of God and accomplish your goals. Health, happiness, and prosperity will remain yours because you stand on His promises. Take care, God Bless, and I'll see you in 2010.

My love to you all!

K.

Psalm 21

For the choir director: A psalm of David.

¹ How the king rejoices in your strength, O Lord!
He shouts with joy because you give him victory.
² For you have given him his heart's desire;
you have withheld nothing he requested.Interlude

³ You welcomed him back with success and prosperity.
You placed a crown of finest gold on his head.
⁴ He asked you to preserve his life,
and you granted his request.
The days of his life stretch on forever.
⁵ Your victory brings him great honor,
and you have clothed him with splendor and majesty.
⁶ You have endowed him with eternal blessings
and given him the joy of your presence.
⁷ For the king trusts in the Lord.
The unfailing love of the Most High will keep him from stumbling.

⁸ You will capture all your enemies.
Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.
⁹ You will throw them in a flaming furnace
when you appear.
The Lord will consume them in his anger;
fire will devour them.
¹⁰ You will wipe their children from the face of the earth;
they will never have descendants.
¹¹ Although they plot against you,
their evil schemes will never succeed.
¹² For they will turn and run
when they see your arrows aimed at them.
¹³ Rise up, O Lord, in all your power.
With music and singing we celebrate your mighty acts.
