Wow, time really does fly. Christmas is almost here, which means a new year is about to begin. I can honestly say that 2011 was a fantastic year for me despite my ups and downs. I graduated from high school with friends I pray to know for the rest of my life. I went off to college and am having the experience of a lifetime. I have made new friends, tried crazy things, and have just lived my life.
But as Christmas approaches, I am excited to be able to go home and spend time with the people I hold dear to my heart. I have learned that I no longer need material things for Christmas like I did when I was growing up. When I was younger, I wanted every toy that they showed on TV. I can remember waking up early anticipating to see what I would get and then would happily play with the toys I received for hours. Now I'm 18 and I will just be happy to spend the Holidays with my family.I am thankful to honestly admit that I truly understand that "Jesus is the Reason for the Season"
But before I can relax I have to get through finals. Finals is next week...this week is all about studying and preparing myself for what is up ahead. With God's help I know I can do this. So to all my college people out there, good luck with your finals whether it be this week or the next. Stop and take time to ask for God's guidance through it all.
Happy Holidays Friends
