Rick and I are excited about this new year. We are filled with hope. God is answering prayers and blessing in amazing ways. We are overflowing and we just extend those same blessings to our friends and family as they face all the adventures this year will bring.
Jobs
Rick is enjoying night shifts doing his natural gas flowback and frac operations with Encana. No kidding. He really likes this work. He's fascinated by the operations and enjoys long nights atop frigid mountains monitoring wells and servicing equipment. He gets home around 6:30 a.m., sleeps for 6 hours, spends a couple hours reading and taking care of business, and then it's back to work. When he does have time off, he gets a whole week and then we travel to visit family and friends and hang out together in our beloved Colorado.I continue to help authors and do some writing, editing and photography, working from my pretty home in Parachute. My office has mountain views, and I take my lunch breaks out walking or swimming at the local rec center. Check out my website! www.christinetracy.com. I also have the privilege of working on a 100 year history book and writing columns for Kremmling Community Church. This is our beloved church who blessed us to go to school for two years. Although we are not living close to them, it is wonderful to be able to continue to do what we can to try to bless them back.
Ministry
Rick and I are having many opportunities to share what we have brought back from our two years at school. I have been doing some life coaching, and teaching classes on the books: Cultivating Kingdom Creativity by Theresa Dedmon; Dream Culture by Andy and Janine Mason; and Prosperous Soul by Stephen DeSilva, using internet and conference calling. (These classes are open to anyone who can connect with me by phone and FaceBook. Let me know if you are interested.)Rick and I are also taking the Global Legacy Leadership Development Training through Bethel Church - an amazing 12 month course where we join 1100 people from around the globe, thanks to the internet. We are doing the class with three Colorado friends and are so excited to have them on this journey with us. The course is conducted by Steve Backlund and Paul Manwaring of Bethel who have a mandate to take the kingdom culture and advance it internationally through this course.
Upcoming
Stay tuned for news of my book, messages on creativity, and some samples of my bulletin columns. I just want to share my thoughts with all of you. Our prayers are that our lives bless you, and that we may impart to you the abundance of blessing and love that have been poured out on us by our good and loving heavenly Father.Thoughts on 2012
Thank you for sharing this upcoming year - 2012 - with us. We know about the scary predictions out there...but we also have faith in the Creator of the universe - God, His Son, Jesus, and His Holy Spirit. The words we are getting from many sources are that God is re-establishing His government and His order and it starts with the family. Homes and families will be mightily blessed this year. He has been answering our prayers. Let Him answer yours!
"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer." Jesus' words from Matthew 21:22.
Many blessings!
Chris
