Christmas Time

4 1/2 days until Christmas and the packages are wrapped, the tree is decorated, the plans are made for the day. Our schedule and life is so hectic. It was nice to sit and watch my father-in-law in his church's christmas play on Saturday.It was a time to look at the Christmas story in a whole different way. It let you see the story from different perspectives. Like how did Josephs parents react to hearing that the women their son was about to marry was pregnant and the baby wasnt their sons. How did Marys parents view her? I am sure it wasnt as the Saviour of the worlds mother. Joseph and Mary might have faced hardships from family and friends by following God's plan and not what everyone thought should happen. I encourage everyone this season to take a chance and really read and focus on the story of Jesus birth. Dont read it lightly and really think about everything that went on. Think about how Mary felt and Joseph, their parents, and family.

Heartfelt

So its late and I cant sleep and I know I am going to regret it in the morning. It has been a few weeks since I have updated this. I am laying bed with chronicles of narnia playing in the background and my husband sleeping peacefully besides me. We have been talking about so many dreams and hopes that we want to see happen and yet sometimes I am scared for fear that it would be hoped for in vain. Its a growing experience in my faith right now. I am still amazed at this man that God blessed me with for a husband and our life together so far. I am also blessed so much with our church family. I love Liberty and I feel at home every time I walk through the doors. I have been working in the nursery and love it it helps a little with curbing the baby fever burning right now knowing that God will bless us with our bundle of joy when He knows we are ready for it and yet I wish it was now.
