Home...

I've been looking over my schedule and realizing how busy things are going to be over the next few weeks. I might actually go crazy by Christmas. I am so stoked for Christmas to be here though...it will be so great to have the whole family together again. I sure hope we get a good load of snow too, even though Dad doesn't like it a whole lot.

I've also been knocked in the head again lately about where I am in my faith. Life definitely is full of challenges, and when my eyes aren't always fixed on Christ, they do a good job of hitting me over the head when I don't see it coming. I'm so thankful to serve such a faithful God, who is constant even when I am not. What a blessing it is to know that when I fall and trip, and when I'm frustrated with myself, knowing that my Lord is right beside me and will hold my hand as He guides me. How foolish I am when I take my eyes off of Him. I'm also thankful for fellowship, for my parents and brothers, and those good friends who remind me of truth and spur me on in love. Thanks.

Another good friend...a good ol' cup of tea. I've been drinking this wonderful drink since I was a wee youngster, thanks to my Nan and Grampa who always had a cup waiting when I'd be over. It's so much a part of our family, that my Grampa's dog even loves a cup. Nothing better than being wrapped in a blanket, sipping on the tastey drink, and spilling my thoughts in silence, or with my mom when we have our tea parties:) Maybe I'll get to look like this lovely elderly lady when I'm older...she even has crazy eyes like me.

So all in all, my thoughts today....God is good and faithful, even when I am not.

And I'm definitely looking forward to catching up on hugs over Christmas too, dad's always have the best hugs.

It gives understanding to the simple."
