New Beginnings by Todd Pierce
Today is 11-11-2011. The number one represents new beginnings. On this day that only happens once a century, I want to remind you all that we are a part of an eternal Kingdom that is timeless, yet presents us with an opportunity to live in perpetual new beginnings. It means that we can celebrate our past by knowing that all things work together for our good, have joy in the knowledge that our future has a guarantee of victory and maybe best of all, the reality that each day we rise He presents us with new beginnings. Our Father has promised us that we are on a path that is taking us from glory to glory. We simply can't loose. Celebrate your new beginnings rather than mourning the ones past.
With the love of our Father,

Pressing Forward by Todd Pierce
Hi family. Sorry for having such a delay in updating you all from Oklahoma. We have been trying to lay around and lick our wounds while our Father heals this sickness we all have. OKC was a great time and the service drew about 250 people. Austin Meier gave a great word about forgetting those things that are behind and pressing forward to the things that are ahead. He related to the fact that although he was in the lead for most of the season last year and ended up loosing it at the last day of competition, it's all behind him now. It will serve him in no way to spend time what if-ing himself now and trying to let last year's successes or failures define him today. I guess we can all relate to this in our own lives as we consider that even though our past helped shape who we are, today is the gift God has given us and we need to live it fully. So many people let fear from the past make decisions for tomorrow. Don't do that! We can learn from our past but it serves us in no way to let our past define us. Today is the day of salvation. NOW, faith is the substance of things hoped for. Although I have not already been perfected, there is one thing I do - I press forward to be all that Jesus saved me to be. I press toward the prize. I want to be everything I was created for. Todd
