I’m not ready for this year to begin.  I’m feeling a bit discouraged and a bit inadequate and a bit sick.  I’m praying that this inadequacy will drive me to depend on Jesus.  I’m asking for his help to persevere.  I’m thankful that God loves me just as I am and will use people like you and I despite our weaknesses and failings.  One of the wonderful things about our God is that he’s there for us in the good times and the hard. 
I’m reminded of Isaiah 40:28-31:
‘Do you not know?  Have you not heard?  The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.  He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom.  He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.  Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.’
This year we have several events in February to help you and I fix our eyes on Jesus and the task at hand.  I hope you can join us for our training opportunities and/or Church weekend away.
Blessings,
Ben
