Merry Christmas.
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.

My sweet little tree. Bought it with my dear friend (and sister) Glaucia when we were roommates on the cruise ship. What a little tree of light and joy this was for us.
It will forever be a staple in my Christmas time decor! And my yearly "Christmas card" prop.



Best time of the year. So many people to love. So many things to be grateful for.
Above all things I am thankful for the grace of the Savior.
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Being home here in Tampa is sometimes a challenge. Sometimes I question if I'm in the right place or if I'm listening to God "enough" (or something like that) It's silly, I'm JUST where I am needed, I'm just where I am growing. I am challenged by things, people, and situations that I wouldn't be otherwise. This life isn't about me anyway. It's not about what I can receive from this earth. I have a hard time living that out sometimes. But, It's true. I'm a part of a bigger story. How lovely! The other day I read some of my notes off my phone... I wrote this a few months ago:

Every beautiful story is more beautiful because of God. The story I am playing out now is good but Jesus' story perfects mine. His story is the perfection of all the great tales we love to share. Every love story, adventure story & meaningful plot worth telling is a derivative of Christ's story. His picture and plan is SO GREAT. "I want to walk your path Father. I want to point directly to you. I'm not going to live a perfect life, but YOUR story is perfect. I will walk beside you. Your tale & how you've saved me will perfect mine."

Love above, thank you.

The fog is clearing.

Have you ever felt like you couldn't see life clearly? You can't make out where you should head, 'cause you can't even tell where you are? I've been in that sort of funk. I got so frustrated with my current situation I had a hard time getting my eyes off of myself. I found myself reading scriptures and always trying to apply the words to fix the things I am going through. Which seams fine on the surface, but if you look at the purpose of the Word... it's not available to me as a recipe to FIX my problems. The message of the Bible is that God is big, very big. But he is also intimate and simply desires me to focus on his bigness and remember what he has done for me. He saved the retch that I am. And though I know I will sometimes (more often than I'd like to think) be a retch, HE doesn't see me as one. And THAT in it's self is all I need to rejoice in!

There is darkness in this world, there is pain all around. Confusion and heart ache are real. Sickness and disease is everywhere.

But, even more than those:

God made light, light overtakes the darkness. Comfort is made passable. Clarity and love are strong. Healing and purity are available.


Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say. . . . r e j o i c e!


 
A few days in these spots sounds like a glorious idea.

Rear Window.

Dang good movie. Acting: delightful. Music: charming. Cinematography: intriguing. Plot: full of suspense & lovely romance.

The whole movie takes place in ONE room. The things I've listed are the things that carry this movie. Hitchcock knew how to make a film. I've seen Rear Window many times... but, I'm still on the edge of my seat now.

 
Cheers to good film.

T h a n k y o u
for your thank you.


I got a sweet post card this weekend from someone that reads my little blog in Chicago! It was so sincere & very encouraging. I greatly appreciated it. It was a good reminder that when you give your life to Christ, not only to you except a heavenly father, but you become a member of a whole group of like minded believers in this massive spiritual family. Everyone who is a Christ follower ,whether it be in China, Mexico, or Chicago... is apart of one body. Our job is to support, encourage, love and spur each other towards following Jesus' example more and more.

. I drove (well, Nate drove, I rode) to Jacksonville to see Fleet Foxes play an amazing show this week. So much talent wrapped up in one band. I highly recommend trying to see them if they come to  city near you.

. I officially broke out the Fall candles and made myself some hot espresso. (normally, I'm all ice)

. Stoked on all this Baseball. We are a half game back from Boston in the fight for the Wild card and the playoffs. Three more games! awww. GO Rays!
