"Thrive in 2005!" written by Yvonne II Kings 20:05 Turn back and tell Hezekiah, the leader of My people, Thus says the Lord,  the God of David your (forefather);  I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears:  behold,  I will heal you.... As I was praying this morning and thinking about the new year ahead, I could not help but think of this year passed. This year has been one of the most exciting, that I have ever had!  My motto for this year, was "Fear NO MORE in 2004",  I have stepped out in several areas and I am amazed of what the Lord has done.  This has also been one of the most difficult years.  How many of you know that when you decide to step out and trust the Lord, the enemy will fight you, that's spiritual warfare. I asked the Lord for a word for 2005, he said "Thrive in 2005".   When you thrive, you don't give up, you continue to flourish, you do NOT remain stagnant.   Thrive means;  To make steady progress; to prosper;  To GROW vigorously...Then he gave me the scripture above.   11 Kings 20:05  He says;  he has heard our prayers, and seen our tears, and that he will heal us. This year has had it's share of many prayers to God for many of us.  Prayers for family members, for healing, for restoration, for financial difficulties, marriages, addictions and along with these prayers have been many tears shed. Isn't it good to know that we have a God that is mindful of us.  That he is thinking of us, and how he extends His hand to us to remind us that he hears us, he sees us, and He will help us.   So go into this year holding on to his word, believe, and expect great things to happen!
