Let me first apologize for being so absent from my blog. My only excuse is one that I seem to struggle a lot with: laziness. I have a hard time saying "No" when people ask for me to do things, which means I become overly involved in various projects. This bad habit leaves me very little personal time to sit still.
As I sit here at my desk in the theater class I work in, I cannot help but yearn for stillness. I've found myself calling my dad nearly every other day and telling him, "All I want Santa to bring me is a NAP!"…….(I'm a bum at heart.) And as I further seek a moment of quiet, I also realize I want more to that moment.
In a season when we all stress about gifts, wrapping paper, food, travel and decorations, I've been hit with the realization that a "nap" is what we all need. We've gotten wrapped up in the hustle and bustle, and at times have lost the "reason for the season".
Spend the next seven days urgently pursuing moments of stillness with the Lord. Seek out times where you can relish in the gift that He sent us through Jesus Christ. Join me in passionate race to get reconnected with our Savior. I'd love to hear your feedback and words of encouragement that I could share with others on my blog.
I pray that God bless you ALL in this time of celebration and may you find many moments of stillness.
