I don't need a lot for Christmas...

Its December! The time when the world speeds up lines get longer and bank accounts run dry... But this time of the year is one of my favorites. I love the cold weather. I love cuddling in blankets and making tent houses to play in while the fire is burning. But my favorite part is that family and friends are brought together to celebrate the life we can have because of the birth of our Savior...

I met with one of the professors at CBU the other day. He is in charge of the program I am in. It was a awesome encounter and I can truly say the more I understand the vastness of the world and what I can do for the people I get a sense of contentment of knowing I am living for more than myself. I am in preparation for the WORLD!

God has had his hand right in my life lately and the providential moments that have arisen because of his handy-work have brought on a even more appreciated contentment with what I am so immersed in.

I have been writing a dialogue that goes over the world views of Judaism, Mormonism, Christianity, and Hinduism. When I was writing about the purpose of life from the Mormon's view I got a ring at the door bell and low and behold God had sent two missionaries from the LDS church. It was beyond awesome. I am sure I scared those boys with my in depth questions I wish I would have taken some more time to ask more questions but I trust that the Lord will provide many more opportunities. Still it was an awesome encounter!

"The grass wither and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever"

Isaiah 40:8

Till the next time we meet... I hope that even though flowers are hard to find and the season has limited them for you, try to find some joy knowing that they may be gone now but they will come back until then God is always constant.

Here is my favorite Christmas song...
