My Christmas Prayer

Dear Faithful God:

The wonder of this season sometimes escapes me. I am too familiar with this story so I often overlook so much that isn't said; so much that isn't part of "the story."

 

“The Confrontation We All Must Face”

I've been contemplating this a lot for the past 2 weeks. The title of this blog was taken from a message I recently heard by Billy Graham. He said, “The cross is the confrontation all of us must face…”  That phrase stayed with me and I've pondered it over and over.

One of Those Days

"I feel so discouraged and so "not enough" today! Doubting everything, hating myself, feeling so unsure and guilty!!"

 

Writing these words in my journal, I move to the computer to process my thoughts. Writing helps me do that.

 

 

Love - How and Who?

"In what areas of your life do you need Christ's light to dawn?"

That was the question posed to me this morning from my Advent reading*.

Perfectly Imperfect

There is, it seems, a much greater drive to achieve "perfection" at this time of year. We want the "perfect" tree, we want to buy the "perfect" gift, we want that "perfect" family picture for the "perfect" Christmas card.

 

 

The Goal of Good-bye

As usual at this time of year, many of us "take stock" of our past year and then most likely "resolve" to do and be better in the next year! And, as usual, we find it doesn't take very long to fail at that resolve!

Our Personal "Advent" Season

I just received a significant revelation from the Lord this week that has so blessed me and will change the days ahead for me, I expect, and the way I approach prayer.
