First of all I love Christmas, I love the cheery, colorful, elegant feel of this holiday season. Some of you may be thinking "cheery?! Really?" Because Christmas has become commercial and brings out the millions of scrooges who deal with money and moodiness. However- yes. CHEERY. I love the music, the movies, and the overall happiness that Christmas brings. I love what Christmas means in the Christian universe. Christmas is about the birth of our savior and how He came to be. How can one not be cheery thinking of the beauty of that Christmas story.
Also in Dec...I grew up in a house full of December birthdays. My fathers was Dec. 29th. My nephew who lived with us for years has a birthday on Dec. 12th and then My own birthday on Dec 6th. In my home Birthdays were celebrated and loved. It was amazing.

Then of course theres New Years Eve. I have to wait a whole year for my favorite month to come...and where it is at the end we end it by celebrating a new beginning! How AWESOME is that?
I said all this to share with you why I love December. I hear songs about the coldness, the winter feeling of it...but December represents nothing but happiness and beauty to me. So for that reason, it is no surprise or mistake that I made December my prayer month. This month I've asked my friends to share with me a prayer request that they would like me to pray for and each day I do just that. I spend time with God lifting my friends and family up in prayer. I'm loving this time with my Savior. He is using my favorite month to bring me even closer to Him which is just another reason to love this month!
We're only 8 days in and I've seen God answering prayer! It's powerful and beautiful in one swift motion.
Some other things I'm doing in my life is- reading a book called The Anger Diet, and another called Managing Your Moods. I'm trying to get a peacefulness in my life among the difficult moments... and Praying about my path...

Something that God just keeps laying on my heart- that I feel He's about ready to yell at me- is to write a book. If you know me well you know I've been thinking about this for a while...but for some reason as I read the books I'm reading, as I get to know myself more than I already do, and as I spend more time with Him and listen to more music... The need to write a book is getting stronger... December is my time, my month, and it's time I step up and listen!
Something else God is dealing with me on is- don't accept fear- just go for it! I know that I'm ready! Are you? What is God laying on your heart to do? Join with me- lets do this together! It could be something small , or something big but I encourage you to do your thing as I do mine. We can help keep each other accountable and just encourage each other in Christ! How exciting is that?! ....Oh boy... it's time to Go and get started on that next path.... Blog at you later!
Have a Merry Christmas and happy New Year if I start to slack on the blogging again! :)
