Hey yall.
Okay so I’m back. Thanks for the withdrawal-induced lovin’. So things have been a tad rough lately, thus the “drama” and “quitting” business.
However, things are looking up. Well except for the insurmountable amount of schoolwork I am facing in the next two-ish weeks. And that whole Christmas gifts for loved ones deal, gah, some people are just SO demanding. And the fact that I like at least 8 hours of sleep every night. And my dog likes to be walked every day. And my Starbucks card is down to $6!!
Nah, it’ll be okay, honestly. The Lord has been teaching me so much about focusing on what I can do to serve the ones I love and what it means to love Him.
Last night dad and I went to see Handel’s Messiah performed. I love the words, “For unto us a Son is given” and “I know that my Redeemer liveth.” I thought about all the lives touched by this beautiful piece of music. Everyone singing the words, the musicians, the soloists, and the precious souls sitting in the audience. What do they think about these phrases and melodies hanging in the air? I really think that music is how I feel the Holy Spirit the strongest.
I can remember listening to Handel’s Messiah during the holiday season for as long as I can remember. In fact, last night I told my dad that, for some reason, while listening to the music, I kept picturing Playmobil people. Most likely this is because I was setting up my Playmobil dollhouse for Christmas while Messiah was playing in the background. Ah. I just love it! That piece of music really is the essence of Christmas.
Just some thoughts for the season. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
Thanks for sharing blog-love!

LOVE!
