—I was able to continue traveling and ministering with Rauna May this year as well, which a few times including bringing my lovely Marianne along. We didn’t end up going to as many places as planned due to unexpected changes of circumstance of various types; but we did manage to get to Costa Rica, Florida, India, Mexico, and Canada! We spent a total of 146 days together ministering in different situations, for a total of 2/5ths of the year.
—Thanks to faithful and generous supporters to my studio work, I was able to get needed equipment including an excellent new microphone (very needed), and many useful studio programs to speed up and improve studio production.
—As well as the Christian material produced, I was able to create 12 new music tracks to use in a restaurant where I sing pretty regularly, as well as private events, with the group ECOS.
—We were able to make 4 trips this year to visit our children in Texas, Vancouver, and Ensenada; and 3 of our kids visited us here in Mexico.—A highlight of our year for sure!
—I acquired a Nikon D60 camera second-hand, and have begun exercising buried photography gifts after years of leaving it aside—and enjoying it immensely! Have begun learning Lightroom and Photoshop along with that.
—It has been a great year of growing in the knowledge of the Lord and the workings of the kingdom; He has led me to many interested teachers and courses, along with my continued daily Bible reading. I am SO GRATEFUL for the abundance of Word and solid teachings that are available, and of course for finding the best of the best from amongst the massive amounts of info out there. I try to stick with people who have the fruits to back up their teachings, and am inspired by all I have discovered. My best time of the day is still my mornings with Him in His word!!
I’ll leave you with the chorus from a song I wrote the last chance I had time to work on song-writing, that sums up what I’d like to say to each and everyone, to ensure a WONDERFUL 2017:
https://jerrypaladino.bandcamp.com/track/give-him-your-life
Give Him your life - He knows what you don’t know;
Give Him your heart - He will fill it with a peace you’ve never known;
Give him your hand - and He’ll take you to where you want to go,
And you’ll know just where that is when you finally let go.
Give Him your life - He sees what you go through;
Give Him your heart - He feels each and every pain that troubles you;
Give Him your hand - and He’ll lead to a love that’s ever true,
and you’ll see how how real He is when you finally let Him get to you.
