Only at this time of the year does my life get a little crazy. I've been at Christmas Eve rehearsals the last 2 days and have not gotten home until after midnight both nights. I love being involved in Christmas Eve but the late nights sometimes make it tough to be a fun time with friends. The last day with the students on Thursday was a lot of fun. The kids at both schools were high energy, but it was definitely and exhausting day. I got some really awesome gifts and a lot of edible gifts from them. With school done and all presents wrapped, it's time to really reflect and think about the true meaning of the holiday, Jesus' birth and his arrival into the world. My favorite Christmas song to sing today while getting ready for our first of 3 Christmas Eve services is "Welcome to Our World." It really states everything about this holiday and how God gave us Jesus: He entered the world a little baby relying on parents just like us only to die for our sins...which we do not deserve that kind of love.
