We hope that all of you were able to have a blessed Christmas and continue to have a good holiday season. If this is a tough time for you, please remember some of the words from Bishop's Johnson's book After You Have Suffered a While: Encouragement from 1 Peter 5:
Pg. 29: I don't know where you are or what you're going through, but I encourage you to endure it, to look at it from God's perspective. Whatever it is you're going through cannot move you and it cannot shake you. In the midst of your trouble, heed the words of 1 Corinthians 15:58, "Be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord." When you get through the suffering, He will mature, establish, settle, and strengthen you. You'll be grounded in the love of God that waits on the other side of suffering.

God Bless You!
