Christmas

I really enjoyed Christmas this year. It was a lot less stressful then in years past. I tried to keep in mind the "reason for the season" and tried to keep my joy. I had a nice time with my extended family, many of whom I haven't seen in a long time. The time spent with my parents, sister, bro-in-law, and younger ones was especially nice. We spent a lot of time at my in-laws and had a really good time. We didn't even get home till about 4 in the morning! All in all, its been great. I received a camera from hubby, and about a hundred other things from others. I saw all my fave holiday movies. Some cheesy, some classic. Oh, and I ate a ton of tamales and some great food made by the in-laws. I did a lot this Christmas. And for the first time in a long time, I read the Christmas story together with hubby. We've been following the reading plan from church and I have found it spiritually rewarding. And this my dear friends has been wonderful. The best part of Christmas? Somehow or another, I led my youngest nephew to Christ and we prayed together on Christmas Eve. God gave to me and I want to give to Him. Happy Birthday Jesus and Merry Christmas to all!....only 3 minutes left!!

today

I had the chance to witness today and it was great! I had a chance to share my story about my marriage, our families, and myself. I had the chance to talk and to listen, and I took it. It went well as was warmly received. And now I get to bake and make snowflakes with my hubby and nephew. It has been a really great day. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm tired.

I'm tired. So much technology everywhere. Cold. Uninviting. No one writes. No one calls. We text. We type. Impersonal. Out of touch? I'm on 3 social networking sites and yet still my relationships are kept at a distance. Even in my small group there is distance. I keep trying to close the gap and I'm greeted with indifference.........I'll leave it at that and say no more.
