An Invitation...by God

This season is so hard. Whether your life is going well or going more difficult than years past, this season intensifies just what is going on in your heart.

So for a minute, forget the hustle and bustle, the friends and family and all the lists that you haven't checked off yet.

For a minute reflect on where you are with God.

Do you still hear him? Do you long for him to change your life or the lives of someone close to you? Do you seek him only to find that he is silent? Do you want more of him?

Or like me, do you rush through your day thinking you can do it all by yourself and find that you are more stressed because you didn't invite God to help you through it all?

Yesterday at church, we were ushered into the the prescence of God only to be given quite a gift.

Do you have an advent calendar??? Maybe like me your children love putting on the different items, pulling open little boxes or finding the small chocolate or trinket inside each day.

What if each day you had an advent calendar of sorts with God? What if each day you opened up your heart to prepare ROOM for God? Would your Christmas be different?

I am taking the Prepare challenge delivered to us yesterday at church and signing up for the daily advent email. I don't know what is in store but I can promise you that I have never seen anything that wasn't God inspired from this church.

So if you like me would like to see what this is all about go here.

And then if you are "in" maybe you would like to join our family for a Christmas Eve service at our church. I know you won't be disapointed. In fact this christmas service has been the most life changing tradition in our family for probably at least 15 years now. I promise you won't be disapointed. And I would bring all children with! There is childcare for children ages 5 and under(although I think a 5 year old and probably a 4 year old would love it). There are services at 1pm,3pm,5pm and 7pm on Christmas Eve, so if you already have plans perhaps you can still fit this in. Again, I can't stress to you just how amazing it is.

If you want more info let me know.
