A New Beginning

Tuesday, January 15, 2008, 12:02 a.m.

Hello once again! :)

I hope your holidays were refreshing! :) I really enjoy the start of a new year...marking the completion of one period of time and allowing for the hope of what is to come. For me, this seems to be a time where I intentionally reflect on the past and anticipate the future. It is always amazing for me to remember God's goodness and be assured of His faithfulness!

Not only have I been able to see God's work in my own life, I have clearly seen God's fingerprints all over APU this past year! I see the evidence of God in the lives of individual students through their desire to learn, hearts to grow, and passion to touch the lives of others. 

As I think about all the ways that students at APU are transformed, I am reminded, once again, what a vital role chapel plays in that transformation. Last week, I had the opportunity to attend two of our chapel services and was so grateful I was able to be at a place where the power of Scripture was communicated and discipleship embraced--patterning our lives after Jesus'!

I pray this year will bring you hope and joy as you follow Christ! :)

Grace, peace, and love,

Stacie :)
