Thad Lanthripe, the Executive Pastor of Church in the Valley (Ontario Ranch, CA), give some encouragement from the Bible of some reasonable expectations we can take into 2019 and how to move forward confidently in the Lord's provision.

The whole message of the Bible is that through Jesus you don't have to stay the way you are.  But what to all of His titles mean (Savior, Christ, and Lord)?  Check out this message from our 2018 Family Christmas Celebration!
