NEW YEAR, whooo hoooo!!!

Well, the past few blog posts have been about harder things in our lives... I guess this past semester was pretty hard for us, and I think it left us both knida sad without a lot of resolution (especially me more than dan). The Atlanta Christmas conference was a nice, clear, firm yet gentle call for me to come back to the Lord. It really does feel like a new year to the Simmons family here, and there is new hope in the air. During one of the awesome talks at the Conference a guy talked about Psalm 1, describing what it takes to be like the tree that is firmly planted by streams of water. The tree bears fruit in season ( NOT all the time!!! How freeing!), but is always nourished because of where it is planted. Lord, can I please be that tree this year? That is our prayer and hope. There are hopes and dreams to be had for you too, reader of this :o) Rock on in 06!
