I bless you with what the LORD gave me this Yom Kippur …

May this year be … 

A year to know who God Is and understand Him and communicate Him.

A year to grow in grace with Him in understanding and rest.

A year to become who He wants us to be in Him. 

A year to see our mission fields blossom as places for people to live and grow.  

A year to see people flourish like flowers in a garden. 

A year to celebrate Shabbat and the feasts, participating with those we love. 

A year to let go of everything extraneous, even the most wonderful things.

A year to release all distractions to focus on community, His mission field for us.

A year to say many goodbyes and many hellos. 

A year to align with HIM for His purpose and His placement.

A year to let go of all other considerations that become distractions.

A year to travel, to go where he sends us, to connect with the people He chooses. 

A year to bring forth His Kingdom. 

A year for Amen, faith, “so be it.” 

A year to listen.

A year to release even the best things that are not part of His calling. 

A year for His timing, “It’s time.”

A year of “isness,” of being. 

A year to be filled and to release “fill-ment.” 

A year to give in and to surrender.

A year to stand up strong and to fight. 

A year to listen to the Commander of the Lord’s Army and take our place.

A year to surrender all ideas of what that place might be .

A year to listen carefully so we can truly take our place. 

A year for great expansion relationally with people n our homes and in the earth. 

A year to connect the United States and Israel through His Spirit within us. 

A year to be at peace with ourselves and with others. 

A year to feel included, protected, involved, and engaged. 

A year to walk with Him in the new and to release the old. 

A year to grow in maturity and grace and to rejoice in obedient listening. 

A year to see our communities filled with life and love. 

A year to enjoy being who He created us to be. 

A year to grow in grace through worship. 

A year for happiness.

A year to surrender being big and surrender being little. just to be. In Him.

A year for freedom. 

A year to stop judging those we love and know, as well as acquaintances.

A year to rise above politics.

A year to be hollowed out and re-created. 

A year for freedom to reign. 

Shana Tova Tikvatenu!

May all the beauties and graces, loves and truths, freedoms and wonders that the LORD has prepared to give you this year, fill you to complete and total satisfaction.  May you press in to know Him this year with all your hearts, and may your souls and spirits be filled to overflowing.  May this be a year like none other, as you give everything to encounter Him, to KNOW Him, and be known (experientially) by Him.  May you receive all the just rewards He has in store for you for your commitment to Him and your love for Him. May you be amazed by joy, astounded by beauty, and overwhelmed by love … over and over and over again, all year long, every single day of the year.

Shalom!  Shalom!

Till Sukkot brings us home …
