humbled.

I love life. I really, truly do. But it's not always going to be a good day. Or in this case, a good week. And it's okay. We're allowed to have our not-so-good days...i happen to be in a funk. I define a funk as a phase of your life where you just don't feel like yourself. Luckily it's only temporary and I'm excited because my hope is in the Lord and He promises a beautiful future.

God has been humbling me a lot lately and although it's kind of embarrassing it's also really awesome. Story time. I recently had to do a super time consuming project for my theatre management class. I had a partner to help me, but she didn't exactly pull her weight. I did pretty much the whole project and she did maybe one or two things for it. I really didn't mind because it wasn't that hard but it was just time consuming and annoying. I thought I did a really good job of not complaining about it but for NO REASON today I happened to complain to my friend about how I basically did the whole thing. Shame on Emily. Tonight I ran into my partner and she freaking bought me a gift. And a really freaking cute card. I feel horrible! It was too sweet :) I just wish I had held my tongue.

Story time number 2. This one isn't mine, I got this from the CCM priest. He told us that when he was in seminary school there was a man he really just did not like. I think I can speak for all of us when I say there's always that one person in your life who you just don't seem compatible with. It's unfortunate, but hey we're human and it happens. The priest said he was always trying to see Christ in this guy, and that if he did that then he would truly be able to love him like he's supposed to. But something is wrong with that, he said. We need to stop looking for Christ in others and start focusing on making sure we are showing Christ to everyone we come in contact with. 

I really love Advent/Christmas time. My project partner and the priest have both shown me excellent examples of what this season is all about. I challenge myself as well as the two of you who actually read this (lol) to push yourselves this Advent. Be as selfless as you can. We're getting older. We've known for years now that Christmas is about way more than presents. Lets show our light to as many people as we can so the world we temporarily live in will be a better place :)

Waiting here for You
With our hands lifted high in praise
And it's You we adore
Singing Alleluia
