i'll talk more about how we've used it once i have the time. (SO much to catch up on from this week!! such a fun week we had!)
but, for now, do you see how close we're getting?
3 days.
3 more sweet days of anticipation. of waiting.
somehow, this year, my heart has remained on Him. even amidst the traveling and new homeschooling and "fun" traditions that threaten to become chores. the quiet miracle that was His birth continues to whisper to my heart through all the noise, "i came for you. my love is for you. for this moment." and i choose to accept it and grow from it and i keep moving...but with His light to shine the way.
other years this has not been the case. some years the darkness of the world seemed too thick and i couldn't even hear the whisper or see the light.
other years i chose to buy into the craziness and not turn my ear to be able to hear the whisper and i shone my own spotlight so that the artificial blinding light overpowered His gentle flame.
why has it been so sweet this year? i have no idea. but i know enough to know that i will choose to be thankful. thankful for the joy of this year. thankful for the whispers i can hear and the light that guides my way.
and the sweetest part is that that baby is only a new chapter in the love story written for us. for me. for you. the book keeps going. that baby lived. and died. for us - for me...for you. and He is coming again - for us...for me...for you.
