Woo! It's Friday! Been MIA a little lately from Thanksgiving and planning our Global Hope India First Annual Christmas In India benefit. It was last night and was such a huge success! I will be posting pictures later next week once we "collect" them all!
This morning I've had time to just sit and be still. It's so refreshing when we get to do that, especially amidst a crazy holiday season. I'm reminded this morning of how this season of Advent is a really about waiting. Focusing on advent, rather than the whole commercialism of Christmas is something that I'm aiming to do this season. Advent really upholds the idea of waiting and hoping. It's amazing to me each time I read of the prophecies of Jesus (in Isaiah especially) just how much detail was planned for Jesus' arrival. The prophecies in the old testament I'm sure gave so much hope to God's children, as they waited for an earthly King. Isn't it crazy that they waited for so long for the Messiah, yet some of them never knew Him? I think we take for granted that we don't necessarily have to wait, but that we already have that hope! Do we know "how good we have it"? That we have a King, the Messiah,...that He IS with us and in us? Do we hope in HIM who is consistent+faithful+powerful in us, or in fleeting & inconsistent success + our own strength? Are we urgently waiting HIS power in our life?
