tis the season

This Christmas season has been full. It's been full in really wonderful ways and full in really stressful ways. I feel like we are constantly spinning many plates trying to not drop a single one. Tonight we finally said "no" to a commitment. It's hard to miss things or not do things as well as you would like. I am looking forward to Sunday to rest in the Lord. We won't have a million places we HAVE to go. We'll only go somewhere if we want to. We won't feel obligated to clean our very dirty house. We'll only clean it if we are in the mood. I need tomorrow to be like that for me. I need to re-charge. I have one more week of work before my Christmas break (What do people do that aren't teachers?). I can make it. I can get there.

In all the craziness I don't want to miss what the Lord has for me. I don't want to crowd out His voice and miss opportunities to enjoy Him. This is a big Christmas for us. It's our first with Lucy. We are trying to settle into life with a baby and me working and Cam's wacky work schedule and everything else. We are praying that we are guided by God to draw nearer to our Savior this Christmas season. Tis the season, after all.
