Blessings

I am telling you, every time I have a need, God immediately fills it. Lately, He's been heaping blessings on me and I am overwhelmed with gratefulness. When things used to stress me, I'd become overwhelmed with worry and fear. Lately, I've been making a conscious decision not to worry about it. Phillipians 4:19, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Luke 12:24, "Look at the ravens. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for God feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!" Matthew 6:30, "And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?" It's going to be a great Christmas and a fantastic new year!

Praise the Lord, I'm finally done with my paper for class. Thankful God got me through it! With the help of God, I was able to raise my grade one whole letter. After the final and paper, I may have raised it two letter grades! God is good! Last thing left is my open book final tonight, then freedom!!! :)

I can't wait to finally read for fun! Just over a month until the next semester!

Be blessed! Merry Christmas!!!

Weight off my shoulders

Whew, the thing I'd been dreading most this semester is now over. My hour-long group ethics presentation is over! I tried to stay calm, but was initially terrified. I only made it through prayer. Thanks everyone for praying for me!!! My new favorite song, Never Once by One Sonic Society helped me through it too; God is good! Oh, and I got an A on the presentation! AND I found a grading error on my last test and the whole class got two points back! This girl needs all the points back she can get! ;) Okay, enough exclamation points for one post. ;)

Christmas

This will be my first Christmas in my apartment. I'd like to get a small Christmas tree and a Christmas wreath.

More than anything, I'd can't wait to pass this class so I can get into the Christmas spirit.

So far, I have only purchased one Christmas present and that was over summer. So, I've got a long way to go. This year, I'm on a tighter budget. Boo! I guess, it will make me more creative. :)

I've always said I love a simple Christmas. I hate holidays being overdone. I love the simplicity of doing enough to make it special, but still be able to enjoy it. Sometimes all the plans and hype take the focus away from what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about God who sent His Son, Jesus to save us from our sin. Without this great gift, we could never hope to go to heaven, but God made a way for us through Jesus. Amen!
