Christmas Season At Last!!!

I know for me personally when the Christmas season rolls around I get so busy with school and getting presents and hanging out with friends that i am to busy to remember what Christmas is really about and how incredible Christmas is not because of the things that my family and friends will buy me but because it is the day when True Love was born into this world. The day when hope re-entered into our lives. This Christmas especially i have been very aware of my schedule and have tried my very hardest not to get to busy that way i can have time for God to just say thank you. And its been hard telling people no a lot harder than i would have ever thought it to be but i feel good. I have found that i have been filled with 10 times as much joy than i have in the past two years. And Ive even noticed a difference at school too... I talk to my friends at school and they are constantly weighed down by the world by their overloaded commitments and i feel free. I can take a deep breath and not have to worry about being late for five different things. Ever since Aaron's sermon at the beginning of the school year about not overloading your schedule and making sure to have time to be lazy and do nothing i have tried my best not to forget it. And i am proud to say that my first semester is pretty much over and i have not yet had a mental breakdown over school!!!! (Which for me is a very big accomplishment!) I look forward to another year... To Graduating and going to college. To starting my life and going with the flow! I figure if God already knows what i will be when i grow up and who i will marry how many kids ill have what ill struggle with and what will be totally awesome for me then i might as well not try to stress myself out with the unknown! Its a great feeling and i recommend it for anyone!! God Bless You and keep you safe!

And be lazy every now and again. Relax by your Christmas tree and listen to some music, lay in the lawn and stare and the stars, Be free from the chains of time and rush... Its worth it! : )
