Merry Chrima!!

Merry Chrima! I can't believe it's christmas time! It seems like it always sneaks up and then is over before you can blink an eye....I do love this time of year though! Spending time with family, Presents, and of course....It's Jesus' birsday! wahoo!! I love it!!!

Well, if you have known me for a while you know that I absolutely love Christmas and I absolutely love buying and receiving presents! Well, this year a few of those things have changed.....

Since spending last Christmas in an Indonesian orphanage and really living out what christmas is about....my views have changed! I think that presents are great and all but, they should be given in an honor of love for those people and in honor of Jesus' birthday.  I think a lot of people just give presents because "It's Christmas" ....well, the next present you give....think about what Jesus did for us and give them in love.

what else....I love being able to spend time with my family and not having to work.....I love my job and I love school...but, it's soooo nice to have a break! 

Well, im going to go off and spend some time with my bestest friend, caroline before I head off to small group.  

Have a great day!
