Christmas

Now that Christmas Break is here I have found some time to update! I have no excuse now I suppose.

Christmas this year will be different in many ways, and I am excited about doing something a little...out of the ordinary. We are shooting some skeet and having tapas instead of a big meal. And we're opening presents at night. I love changing things around and killing holiday sacred cows.

It is really interesting how much your life changes when you put Jesus as the central man. With 8 classes and school taking over my time....it has been so easy to put him to the side....but it is when you get desperate for him again that you realize how much you need him. I guess you could say I became a little mediocre. And life is so much more peaceful when you have him whispering "I love you" or "Wait! don't say that." and it is amazing how he saturates every area of your life when you really make him the center of your attention. Areas I never really connected two and two in....like clogging....I've been understanding so much more and getting so much better. Or sleeping.... I've been sleeping like a rock since I've spent more time with him.

I've been learning a hard lesson through this, too. Let God's plan for your life fall in place and don't push it, rush it, or try to make it happen. Just let him tell you where to go next and let him move you into a new season. It isn't worth pushing it...you'll stress yourself out and get all frustrated. Can you tell where I've been the last few weeks? :)

Ok. Well I think that is it for now.
