God With Us

it's no secret that i love Christmas...we're talking that i'm a serious Christmas dork. corny hallmark Christmas movies, driving through McAdenville (multiple times), Christmas carols, etc. my prayer, though, this Christmas is that i will not cease to be amazed that Emmanuel has come...He is God with us. tonight i decided that i just want to camp out in that place and allow myself to be surrounded and consumed by the fact that Emmanuel has come.

there is nothing wrong with LOVING the Christmas season but i want to love it for the right reason. i want to rejoice and celebrate because the glorious impossible has happened...Jesus has come and more importantly, beyond Christmas, there is an empty tomb.
