A YEAR OF HILLS AND VALLEYS...

"For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a LAND OF HILLS AND VALLEYS, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
A land which the LORD THY GOD CARETH FOR: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, FR
OM THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE YEAR.
And it shall come to pass, if you shall HEARKEN DILIGENTLY UNTO MY COMMANDMENTS which I command you this day, to LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD, and to SERVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART and with all your soul,
That I will give you the RAIN OF YOUR LAND IN HIS DUE SEASON, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
Deuteronomy 11:11-14
 
As we enter into 2013 we are entering into a year of unknowns.  We have no way of knowing what we will encounter...but we know this with all certainty...there will be hills and there will be valleys...good days and bad days...laughter and tears...and this great promise....that His eyes are upon us....and He cares for us!
 
He has one commandment for us that brings great reward..hearken diligently to His commandment...and His commandment is to love Him and serve Him with all your heart and all your soul.  Serve Him with great diligence and love Him completely!
 
We are in our Father's hands...He wants the same as any Father...the love of His children!  His eyes are upon us...He cares for us...and He will give rain into our lives!
 
Welcome to 2013....the year of the Lord!
