breaking the hush

     I wanted to write and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year! Please know that I am full of Peace this season, even away from my friends and family. Know that I have found new brothers in Christ that I will be spending the Holidays with. God has been so good to me that I won’t even begin to tell you of my sorrow because I don’t have any! In fact, my heart is filled with excitement for what the New Year is bringing.
     I was reading the other day, and came across a scripture that has been imprinted on my heart for the New Year…Isaiah 43: 18-19-“But the Lord says, ‘Do not cling to events of the past or dwell on what happened long ago. Watch for the new thing I am going to do. It is happening already – you can see it now!’”
     Friends, I can see it, I can feel it and even taste it! 2012 is bringing with it fulfilled prophecy, miracles, and a deeper relationship with Him in my life – not to mention lost souls! Please continue to pray for my new friends and me. Pray for wisdom, increased faith, released gifts, and boldness. I love each of you and am more than just content where I reside – I am happy and ask that you don’t grieve in my absence this holiday season, but you rejoice in what our Lord is doing and thank Him for placing me here for such a time as this! Again, understand that I am not sad but full of joy…I truly know that peace that passes all understanding!
     I do ask for one more thing – my friend Erick has yet to be filled with the Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues…He is the Apologist I spoke of in an earlier blog, who desires nothing but more of God and all He has for Him. Well, I would like him to receive that gift this Christmas. Your prayers would mean the world! I love you all! Grace and Peace!

**To the young lady who is tearing down principalities through your prayers. I can’t wait to see the powerhouse you become. We babies stick together! Happy 6th birthday Emily Ava Jayden Deats! Love, Uncle Shawn**

Merry Christmas.
