Christmas Party!!!

Last night was the Faith Community Church Christmas Party. What a wonderful time everyone had. I got to sit at a table with some of my favorite people at church.

Sean, Beka, Heather, Chris, Brenda and Mike. Beka and I shared cheesecake, she is so awesome. Sean had a wonderful time and Oh did I tell you.....Sunday morning Sean was having a really great talk with Issac at church..wait for it......He is going to start meeting with Issac, Randy Cook and I think another man from church on Friday mornings at 6am for a bible study. YIPPEEE!! He was thrilled. I was and am super happy for him.

I am also glad that he is doing this on his on with only God's help. In the past couple of months I have seen some growth in him and I thank God for working in his life the way he is.

Sooooo Party,

We all have a great time of fellowship and food. I love that we are such a loud and not so shy church, I mean have you met me, could I really be at a quiet shy kinda church. ummmmm NO.

Did i mention that Beka is AWESOME. I have really been blessed to have her as my friend and really hope to spend more time with her in the future. She cracks me up.

Check out my sister, Mom2 and I...aren't we a good looking family?

Sooo Bummed tonight.

Tomorrow is Tuesday, registration for Timothy Ministries.

We can't go and we can't register....

So bummed for Lillian the most but I know that God has a plan.

(whispering, Do you think he will let me in on it soon...)

School in August and MOMMY gets to have a JOB!!!!! so excited i may need a pull-up.

Stuck between a Rock and well Another Rock!

Let me start by saying I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!

With that said, Christmas is not being so nice to me this year and it is still 2 weeks away. I knew that the budget was not going to allow much this year but I did not factor in everything detail. Wow, it sure does cost people tons of money at Christmas time. You buy for kids, family and sometimes friends. Think about it...

Example:

Children average 3=let's say 200-300 dollars depending on the age of child

Mom

Dad

Sister

Nephews let's say 3

Nieces let's say 3

Mom in law

Spouse/significant other

Other misc family

If you average $10 a person add it up

You could be looking at like 800-1000 dollars out of a budget that (i don't know about you)is already tight with everyday things now.

Christmas is has become all about the money and what you can get with it. Now don't get me wrong I love giving and I always have. I love seeing someone happy and say it's exactly what they wanted or needed. Nice feeling.....but should that be what you think about at Christmas time, Really?! Makes me wish that Christmas stayed true to what it really means instead of getting so commercialized. Christmas means we celebrate the Birth of our Lord Jesus who went on the DIE for us. I mean come on really wouldn't you rather celebrate that then Celebrate the local toy companys. I am all for the people that work there making a living but there are enough birthdays for them all to make plenty. I want a new tradition....Just sayin'

A big Shout out to My Father in Heaven for allowing me to live today in his glorious light, being my biggest ROCK that I can rely on and to have the means to complain online...Merry Christmas!
