Jesus is THE Reason!!!
For some reason, this Christmas I am not in my usual "Christmas" spirit. I can't really pin point why. Maybe because Daniel and I can only spend so much money on each family member. Maybe because I want to decorate our home with more Christmas decorations but can't. Maybe because the Holiday/Christmas Tree thing frustrated me. The other day I was talking to God and expressing my feelings and mood. He then showed me why I was feeling that way. Christ is the reason for the season - not stuff! Duh!! Instead of celebrating and parsing my Lord God for sending His one and only Son, I am focusing on what I don't have. What a spoiled child. If God had not sent Jesus to live and die for our sins, there would be no reason to live. As I look around, I see our world so far away from rejoicing and praising the Father. All I see is the hustle and bustle and things being marked off the list. In the world I see, I see some of my fellow brothers and sisters. We must remind ourselves daily - hourly - that this season is to celebrate Christ's birth. Not stuff or complaining about lack of stuff. God has renewed my mind and I am eternally grateful for my Father sending His Son, Jesus Christ!! Merry Christmas!!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. A little summary of my life the past year. This Christmas I will be married to my wonderful husband, Daniel, for a year and a half! I can't believe its already a year and a half. We have so much fun together and love each other so much! I'm the luckiest girl in the world! We live in a cute neighborhood in norht Forsyth County, Georgia. We are about 2 miles south of the Norht Georgia Preium Outlet Mall and 15 miles from Dahlonega and the mountains. Our church, North Point, is building a satalite church 5 miles south of us which will be opening this summer. We have three couples who live accross the street from us and we have so much fun. We call ourselves the commune. :-) We love out community and see us living a wonderful life. Daniel is working for Pulte Homes as a Superintendent and just passed his real estate course. We plan to start our own home building business soon - we could use your prayers on that. I have been working with a developer doing accounting and misc office duties for about two years. I am starting my own bookkeeping service business and hope that I will be able to leave this job and work from home.
I will post some pictures later but I am doing this at my job so I don't have my camera and stuff. I am so excited about keeping in touch with everyone. Thanks to Meredith I have seen the light! I love you all!
