God really laid each of you on my heart. I am praying for each of you for your health but also that God would press us into our restoration. I have had an experience of breaking down strongholds, generational sins, and seeing God set me free. This is why the baby was born on Christmas, to set the captive free. All of you know, that my baby was born last year on Christmas morning at 12:25 am. 12:25 on 12/25/06 amazing...what is more amazing is what the doctor said when he handed Becca to me, "this has never happened to me 1225 on 1225 must be a baby sent from Jesus as a gift..." little did I know she would be the beginning of my road to restoration. I went down to the chapel and knelt and said "God, Please let me do this right" and He answered with the gift of all of YOU, my New Hope Family. I love you all. My son got into some huge trouble and he is ok, but I am able to be with him and love on him and break the generational sin of rebellion and I will be with my oldest daughter tonight and my mother...merry christmas.
Love from Your son (I feel like I have lots of parents in the Lord at new hope) and brother,
Kurt

Thanks for all of your prayer...I listened to the Lord this am and was able to share with my mom and she has struggled with the same thing...I did battle and it was amazing.
I found Psalm 56 a huge comfort and it instructed me NOT to worry about pleasing men.

Gary and I were in bed all day, but were able to eat some soup tonight.
I still have a slight temperature, but the BAD symptoms are gone. Thank
you for your prayers.
Kurt called a while ago to tell us that he's praying for us all. Also
wanted to let us know that the last potential business deal is dead,
and I think that means his company is dead too. This is a relief for
him, to know one way or the other. Pray for him as he seeks God's
direction for his life. He needs work.
Tricia and Joe aren't answering their phone and she sounds terrible on
the answer phone message. So keep praying for them!
I haven't heard any more about Jon or Sid, but we're praying they are
continuing to improve.
Love,
~ Carol ~
