The semester is finally over! No more getting up early to drive to Marion, grading papers, preparing for lectures....now what to do with all my time! :) I plan on taking some time next week to hopefully clean the house and begin to study for my exam. I also have a couple quilt projects that I am working on and a couple books that have been waiting for me.
And best of all...I am going to soak up and enjoy this Christmas season. I have been drinking hot chocolate, listening to Christmas music, Dan and I have an advent devotional we have been doing, I have been wrapping gifts, watching Christmas movies, and simply enjoying our house being decorated and watching the lights twinkle on our tree. I want these next few weeks to be slow and to allow myself time to remember the gift that Christ is...the amazing story of His birth and contemplate the puzzle of how God picked Joseph and Mary to be the parents to His Son. If you haven't watched The Nativity...rent it!
A baby....He came as a baby. He came to show His love, to give His grace, and to free us. He came so He could relate to us. He came, and for that I am forever grateful.
