"My heart is always ready for it!
The thing I struggle with is trying not to allow December to become too busy so I am in a perpetual state of longing for my Jesus & anxiety because I have not carved out the time! For some reason, Christmas always seems to be disappointing for me....not because I don’t get the Joy of why we celebrate, but because I feel so sad that it ends up being about parties & kayos & presents....I feel like I don’t belong in our ‘world’ during Christmas....like one of these things is not like the other!
Planning to put things in place this year to avoid the disappointment!! Perhaps I simply need to lower my expectations?? I don’t say that in a negative way, but maybe I just need to be more in the moment each & every day & not always feeling like it needs to be ‘more’.
