O Come Let Us Adore Him

O Come Let Us Adore Him

For you alone are worthy!

Wow!  This year has been full of many ups and downs!   Celebrations and struggles and through it all He ALONE is worthy.

Recently NCA Matagalpa held its first Christmas concert.  It was a night filled with joyful singing, beautiful recorders accompanying choruses of students artfully telling the story of Christmas.   The night concluded with the classic Christmas carol   O Come All Ye Faithful  or Venid Adoremos in Spanish.     I was overcome with reverence for our King as I sang the words surrounded by students, parents, and the staff of NCA.

I don't stop often enough to  bow in worship of the One who is Faithful, the One who is triumphant, the One to whom all glory belongs.    In an attempt to recap just a bit of this year and to recognize the One who has been and forever will be Faithful I bring this humble offering.
