it’s the holidays!

yay! so excited for this holiday season… for some reason it feels a lot more like christmas this year than it did during previous years… maybe it’s because apt 120 has gone all out and decorated our home… haha it looks like christmas has exploded on one side of our apt

basically… our apt looks like this:

just have to remind myself the reason for celebration we got the very best present from God and even though it’s kind of late (being december 3rd and all… HAPPY BIRTHDAY to elaine btw!) i’m want to try and remember a verse to countdown the 25 (i guess 22 now) days of christmas!

^“9And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ¹⁰so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ” (Phillipians 1:9-10)

love grows with knowledge… (hopefully) the more you know about God and of others, your love for them grows deeper… i don’t feel like like i’ve taken time enough to get to know Him.  whatever excuses i come up with… nothing substantially holds for why i continuously push my relationship with Him to the backburner, assuming that i can rest on my past laurels/knowledge/experiences.  Love isn’t automatic… it’s a choice and it takes a lot of effort to grow in your love… and this season i want to remember the reason for everything good in my life… for love, hope, peace, forgiveness… that they all come from Him and even though there are so many things greater than me… His love surpasses anything i can ever imagine or hope to reach myself… and that’s reason for celebration

be happy!
