Looking back on this year (full update blog next week), so many things have happened. I can’t even believe it all. I can only hope that God has more blessings in store for the people around me as well as myself. I don’t want to do the full EOY update right now, but I do want to put a couple things out there.

I’m working on ideas for where I want this whole ministry idea to go. The biggest plan is to get the vision for this ministry out of my head and in the open for people to see. I don’t believe that this is something that I’m supposed to sit on for myself. I want to be able to share it with others and help enhance the kingdom. With that in mind, here are a couple things that I’m working on…

I’m in the process of dropping the Harry Walls, IV music page on facebook (most of you probably didn’t even know I had one). In it’s place I plan to create a worship180 facebook page where I plan to communicate the ideas, thoughts and upcoming ministry plans through. I am also working to create a worship180 Twitter account as well. I’m also looking to expand the effectiveness of this website, hoping to make it more than just a blog. The goal is to have the fb and the Twitter launched by Jan. 1. I think the site is going to take a little longer.

As I wrap this up, I ask that you would pray for me as I continue to progress in who I am and who I’m supposed to be in God and for my family. I tell you this, God already knows what’s going to happen in 2010. We just better start preparing ourselves because it’s gonna happen no matter what. Be blessed and I’ll be giving you the full 2009 update next week. Merry Christmas and Happy Birthday Brisa! You’re 5 today!

It’s Advent season and we are fully anticipating the coming of Christ. This past Sunday we talked about Jesus being a Mighty God (Isaiah 9:6). We talked about the oft overlooked Greek name for Mighty God, El-Gibhor. When you look at this name, a word that you find in the definitions of both is strong. As I sat and listened, all I could think about that my God is strong strong. That’s more than just regular strong, that’s super strong.

I was so impacted by the concept that this baby that was coming to the world in Jerusalem that night was going to be strong strong. Who knew that this baby would come to the world so small and helpless, but then be the Savior of the world? That’s strong strong. We know because of the seasons that when Jesus came to the world, His whole goal was to die for our sins. That’s strong strong. They didn’t know that 2000 years ago. They had no idea that this baby would be so special.

There should be great hope in knowing that the God we serve is strong strong. I don’t know what you guys are going through right now, but knowing that the Savior of the world is coming to die for my sins because He was the only one who could should bring you much hope and joy. Even better, you can engage the world with this hope. I love having a God that is strong strong.

As this day winds down and I’m sinfully stuffed for the day, I come right back to the reason for the celebration. Jesus did such an amazing thing by coming to this earth as a baby. This story means so much to me as a Christian knowing what this birth means. I am overwhelmed by the love and sacrifice shown by having that baby come down here.  Let me make sure that I say thanks right now.

I think about all the things that have happened that led up to this day…people have been trampled and died for the perfect gift. People have been shot over the perfect gift. All of this for something material when God gave us a gift that some peole don’t recieve and some of us look over. What a wonderful Savior!!! I want to apologize for what I’ve done to take away from you on this day.

This is your day, we are here to celebrate, we no longer have to wait for you are here.

So Happy Birthday, Jesus! I hope you enjoyed your day. I hope to celebrate you better next year. Maybe I’ll start tomorrow…
