No pictures this morning; just Jesus. I am always up early on Christmas, always have been. I thought it was the urge for gifts that awoke me but now that I am at my own house it isn't that anymore. It is the opportunity to spend some alone time with the very reason for our gift-giving. I am not going to lie, this is possibly the hardest Christmas yet...stress within the family, my sister being absent, Micah still being sniffly and some personal stuff with me going on makes it a little hard to focus on someone other than myself. BUT I think all of this is happening at this time for that very reason! I am so reminded to focus on God and not circumstance. Just wanted to share a few things from the Lord this morning and say Merry Christmas!
"Why does God allow such warfare(my translation:Why does God allow stuff to make us anxious, whether it be trivial or not?)?"
"Sometimes God uses the fight to strengthen muscles we'll need at that next level. If yesterday's wimp is going to become tomorrow's warrior, something has to happen TODAY."
(even if today is Christmas:))

I enjoy your blogs. This verse came to my mind as I read your blog today. This is from the Message 2 Cor 1:4 All praise to the God and Father of our Master, Jesus the Messiah! Father of all mercy! God of all healing counsel! He comes along side us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort - we get full measure of that, too.
May God strengthen you in your battle. Summer's ma
