Merry Christmas

"For a child has been born for us, a son given to us;

authority rests upon his shoulders;

and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

His authority shall grow continually,

and there shall be endless peace

for the throne of David and his kingdom.

He will establish and uphold it

with justice and with righteousness

from this time onward and forevermore."

Isaiah 9:6-7 

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Christmas in the apartment.

I had so much fun decorating and getting our little space in the holiday spirit this year. at times I get annoyed with how little space with have and start to feel dissatisfied, wishing for a bigger space to spread out at. but this christmas I just feel really thankful to be here in this space we call home and to able to enjoy it with my husband. my heart is breaking today for this family. two days before christmas and 2 months before his first baby boy will be born his family is putting him to rest. my heart cant fathom the emotions his young bride must be feeling. 

 this christmas may your heart be filled with JOY that only comes from Jesus, the real reason we celebrate christmas! 

Currently.

Currently | I am feeling like I am barely keeping my head above water. I adore this season, but why must it always be so busy? Between now and next weekend there are like a million and two things that must be crossed off my to do list. We are hosting two parties at our house next weekend which I am so excited for, but it just means I have so much to do to get ready.  And the end of the year is right around the corner, which means that I have projects that must be wrapped up for the business.  

Currently | I am excited about singing in the Christmas choir at church this weekend. Its going to be so great! 

Currently | I am loving this Cinnamon Tempest tea. Its like Christmas in a cup. 

Currently | I am feeling so grateful for the gift of life. We had a harsh reminder this week that life is truly a gift and it ought to be celebrated and valued. I am looking forward to being with family this Christmas and treasuring my time with time with them. I also think I'll be doing some unplugging! 

 Happy Friday!
