I have been starting as many days as I can with extra quiet and contemplation during Advent, in an intentional effort to slow down, fix my eyes on Jesus, and meditate on the reason for this season…… I have been posting as little of my self on Facebook as possible. I have not been commenting…
Ahhhhh………FINALLY. Time to write. I am trying to be more intentional about writing on my blog this Advent, but am finding it a challenge. As much as I am trying to be careful about my time, and not get caught up in the Pre-Christmas hype, I am still finding it a challenge to find those…
