Blessed Christmas to you!

This is the day that the greatest Gift was gifted to us!
Time alone
December 24th, 2009
There is no doubt that gifts are nice but I look forward to celebrating Christmas in peace. Literal quietness that’s missing in my daily life – whether physically or mentally. There’s always something happening in this house or at work or even in my head when I’m asleep (dreams are robbing me of restful sleep).
Why? Why would one want to spend Christmas alone (apart from it being a lack of choice)?
I want to spend this time to refocus on THE true reason for Christmas.
Ask me now and I can rattle the reason to you but I have to honestly say, it will lack some enthusiasm. I feel so far away and it’s not something I’m proud of admitting. I try, then I stumble. I stay where I am for a while, then I try again.
I can only say that I am VERY glad that God is always faithful!
The term “Scrooge” or “grinch” is used when one does not display a “Christmas spirit” at the end of the year – but really…what is the “Christmas spirit”? Or rather, what is the world’s definition of “Christmas spirit”?
I have no planned script for this post – it’s all over the place!
I look forward to time alone.
Spoke to me: Heaven on Earth
September 3rd, 2009
My greatest dream, it has come true…
Just to be loved by You.
Just to be loved by You, I’m in heaven…heaven on earth.
- Darlene Zschech -
Almost 3 years have passed.
Same song, different message.
Have been thinking about relationships, contentment and joy.
It is very true that one has to be completely happy being single (and I don’t mean I-am-an-island-I-don’t-need-anyone-I’m-totally-void-of-feelings kind of “happy being single” here) before even thinking of anything else. If you can’t find joy when you’re supposedly “alone” – you won’t find it anywhere else.
God didn’t make me “half” an individual that I need another to complete me.
HE completes me.
Now, to find/have someone who can share my life with me, that would be an added bonus.
Spoke to me: Walk on
August 21st, 2009
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind
Love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can’t leave behind
And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it’s a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for a second you turn back
Oh no be strong
Walk on, walk on
What you got they can’t steal it
No they can’t even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight
Spoke to me: Inside Out
August 18th, 2009
From “Inside Out” by Dr. Larry Crabb
But most Christians vaguely sense that they long for so much more than what they experience on a daily basis, and they suppress a terror that no one could know them fully and still want to be their friend.
I know exactly what he meant.
