Well, New Memorial, here we are again. Another year older; another year wiser. Thank you, Jesus! We have come into the new year learning that the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, so we are well equipped for the battle. In fact, we are ready now! Pastor has been doing an awesome job teaching us how to cope with life. Though the challenges may be great, we serve a great God who has already given us the victory. New Memorial you are truly an amazing Church and I am thankful to join you in the service of Loving the lost, healing the hurt, and building the broken-hearted. I love you all!
Pastor Walker, my husband and friend, thank you again for allowing God to guide you, and then in turn guiding us. We are better servants after gleaning from you. Your wisdom is nothing short of God-given. We appreciate your leadership, your friendship, and your willingness to share your heart with us! The children and I are proud of you, much love always!
MUAH!
First Lady.
