Merry Christmas!
We have erected and decorated the tree. We’ve Christmas shopped and grocery shopped. We’ve traveled far and wide or welcomed those who have. We’ve baked, wrapped, and maybe all-night assembled.
And today we pause.
We remember the gift, the miracle that entered time and space. We remember the babe stripped of divine clothing, humbled by earthly surroundings and earthly needs—sent on an earthly mission.
“And she will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
Today we pause. And we remember Immanuel, God with us. The babe. Our Savior.
JESUS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank you Kim. Lol I did just drop it and kept it moving .Lol. For the first time in my life Im not single. It feels weird a little. Hes goes to my church and we hit it off pretty well. I like geeky men and hes well……… geeky. We have the same outlook on life and we’re interested in a lot of things. He knows how to cook which is a plus because I cant. I ask God everyday is this the guy for me? I said Lord I need sign.. I actually told my blog fam before I told my fam. So Im happy.

Ciara, I’m sooooo happy for you! Just a little while back, you were feeling really low, and I’m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying the companionship of someone from church. I love that you’re talking to God about him. Keep seeking Him and letting Him lead you. And ain’t nothing wrong with geeky! :) Labels mean nothing. It’s all about the heart, and I pray you keep getting to know one another from the heart. Keep us updated, sis!
