Christmas.

I LOVE christmas. I am very thankful for my family and how we have celebrated christmas every year. We are not a wealthy family. We have never really gotten many presents. We usually get one or two, and then a stocking. I am very proud of my family for not gripping or complaining about it. My brothers have handled it very well. We just go into Christmas not expecting much, material wise, and that helps. We do however LOVE spending time together playing games, watching movies, and eating lots of goodies on christmas eve!!

Because of the way we have celebrated Christmas it has passed on to our relatives. All of the cousins on my dad's side are not giving gifts this year. We are all serving somewhere in honor of the cousin that we were assigned to this year. Maybe it'll keep spreading and soon the world will really know what Christmas is all about!

Family. Friends. above all the greatest thing that could EVER happen. God, GOD. sent himself to us!! that's waaaaay beyond our understanding. It's ridiculous and insane!! We should all just be flippin out all the time!

My life is so much better because of this video

Called.

Exalt and Declare.

The Real World

Being in the work place can be rough. Today my coworkers were talking about Pastors the whole time and how they preach with one hand and do the opposite of what they preach with the other hand. Talking bout how Pastors have the good life...making money off their flock.
It took everything I had in me not to go off on them. First of all, they were only speaking from the bad example of ONE pastor here in Little Rock. Secondly, my dad is a pastor and he just got a huge pay cut...we're not living the American dream here.
I didn't know exactly how to get in on the conversation and turn their views around. I felt like it was the office against me. It's like that quite often. I wasn't expecting to work in  non-christian environment...but boy howdy did I get myself into a non-christian environment.  They are working for a good cause, but not living it out in their daily lives.
The question is: how do we get through to people? We think we would be a good example, but sometimes thats not enough. You have to SPEAK up too. After leaving Greenville's bubble, I gotta get back in gear for the real world.
Prepare yourself.

Come and cleanse us like a flood and send us out, so the world may know you reign.
