Last night when I was talking to my mom, she made a comment that suprised me. I was talking about how crazy the last month has been in my life...new job, moving, her illness, my Christmas schedule and to top it all of a nice, wonderful winter cold! She said, "Yes, the last seven weeks have been insanely crazy for you." When she said that I thought she had added wrong. I told her that I had only been here at WCAG for four weeks. She laughed. When I thought about it, it has been seven weeks. Boy, time flies when you are busy!
It has been the greatest seven weeks of my life! It is so incredible to be in the center of God's will and to be at the place you know He has sent you! I love everything! The office staff is wonderful, the pastors are so kind and gracious, the congregation is so welcoming and the kids, the kids are so amazing! It feels as if the church opened it's arms to be and has embraced me as family. What a blessing...and what an incredible start!
Well, I am moved and as of tomorrow, everything will be unpacked, hung and in place! My mom is doing much better and my family and I are so thankful! God truly brought her through when doctors did not expect a favorable outcome. What an amazing blessing and gift this Christmas! My cold hopefully is getting better...and I'm eating up the cough drops so that always helps! SO...now I can enjoy Christmas!
I have not shopped for one thing! My family Christmas with all my siblings and nieces and nephews is Sunday afternoon and I have not bought one thing! Yikes! I have my work cut out for me on Saturday - purchase gifts for eleven people and wrap them all nice and neat! Another yikes! My parents and I will have Christmas together on Christmas Day, so I can wait to purchase their gifts until Monday or Tuesday! Yet, another yikes!!! I can't wait to hit the malls and stores and hear the Christmas music, the long lines, the lights, the parking spaces at the very end of the parking lot! I know, it doesn't sound fun to you, but to me...its time to begin the Christmas season!
It is my favorite season and hate that it seems it has been cut short due to unexpected events, but I'm going to enjoy my socks off the next nine days! Christmas here I come!
