As we enter into a new year we must certainly give God thanks for keeping us and allowing us to survive 2011. We have suffered some losses and have had some setbacks. We all can say that things didn’t always go as planned. We can also say however that God has blessed us tremendously in spite of it all.  However one thing is certain 2011 is not coming back again. The best thing we can do is move forward and look ahead to what God has in store for us. Our theme for the month is “Keep Looking Ahead”. Many people today miss what God has planned for their life because they keep looking at what they lost or what they perceived they lost not realizing that sometimes a loss is really a gain. As they are doing this they are missing out on not only current blessing but future ones as well. One thing is certain and that is its hard to move forward if you are constantly walking backwards. May God bless you to look and realize his blessings in your life this year.

May God bless you,

Pastor Russ Isler
