Hi and sorry its been so long since I’ve blogged!

OK so It’s 12:03 am on Dec 26th – My kids are playing the new Wii we bought them and I have given them 5 more minutes to get one more game of baseball in before they have to be in bed. I am just sitting here reflecting on such a wonderful Christmas we had (just a few hours ago.) We had a big old fashioned Christmas this year it was wonderful. We have had deaths in our family and “close calls” so we had nothing but joy in our hearts for our family, especially this year as we know how precious life and family really are.

It is Dec 26th and I do not feel sad about the “let down” this Christmas as many years I do. I mean we plan and prepare and shop and bake months in advance all for 2 days and then just like that its gone and we are left with a few extra pounds to the old waist line, and then just like that the tree comes down, outside Christmas lights are no longer a welcomed thing by your neighbors, and your bank account is a dry well. hmm….ok So not to be a downer but this is how I feel so many years, except this year.

I am so excited and ready for January 1st 2010. I do not see this as a opportunity to escape a bad year and hop into a new one with my fingers crossed,  I see this as an opportunity for people everywhere to really truly start fresh and really for once let the past be in the past and walk into this 2010 with the mindset of a new person, that we would truly the person God made us to be and not only to see it but to believe it and then to walk in it. I am excited because the harvest is ready and I believe the workers will rise up this year. I see activation of a dormant people,  I see a mission field flooded with believers that are so passionate about soul winning that the churches cannot contain the people. Thats what the rain of revival smells like, can you smell the rain? 

I see a now days spirit of Nehemiah coming to our city that we will take care of the walls in our city and the people in our neighborhoods. That love for people will burn so much in our spirits that it hurts until we get off our couches, step out of our cubicles or get out of our cars and love and take care of those around us. 

I see a year of spiritual impartation, motivation and acceleration- Meaning God imparts the vision inside of us and we are motivated to walk it out and pray and fast to see it come to pass and then God will accelerate us to the next level. (a quick process)

I pray for the faint of heart that a new vision will burn to the depths of your bones! Everyone, lets pull up our boot straps, roll up our sleeves and buckle up because I believe if we all get out of ourselves and our own agenda’s we could see a history making year!  So this is my eye brow raising statement are you ready…. NO MORE EXCUSES! Excuses are lame and boring they are like noses everyone has one (A math teacher once told me that- haha) I know Noah had a few for sure and he was mocked by everyone around him,  Moses was insecure about his calling, David was a snot nosed kid, and hello Paul was a murderer and couldve given in to major shame that could’ve crippledhis ministry which wouldve affected me for sure!  C’mon I know you can do it!  Whatever has been your stumbling block then kick it out of the way and just keep moving and healing while your working through it-It Reminds me of a song from the 90’s-  ”KEEP ON MOVING, Keep on moving don’t stop, no” 

If you are battling addictions or shame if you feel insignificant or maybe so wounded you cant see anything beyond your circumstance then  I encourage you to fast and pray in January and be determined this is your year, I encourage you to get out of YOU and get in your word, devour it and stand on it!  When you are struggling know that the God who made the moon, stars and every creature in it is so passionate about you and he is your biggest cheerleader! Just start walking and I know God will meet you half way!

God Bless you- I love you, Kari

Watch out 2010 HERE WE COME!
