This is the first year that I have done an advent devotional everyday for the season of Advent and it has helped me so much keep the focus on what really matters this season in my life than any other. I want to keep this focus in the New Year and have more focus towards getting healthy )yes once again). If I had already succeeded then I wouldn't be in the place I want to for my "Two Journeys One Road". I still think that is a great title of a book that could inspire anyone who reads it. To be on 2 journeys-One with Jesus and One to "One-derland" (The movie "That Thing You Do" is correct it doesn't look like Wonderland-it looks like the character says it does which doesn't convey very well into words...)
I hope that while I am home I am not distracted by them to now set aside a few minutes of each day to continue my devotional and journey to the manager with this guide. I know I will go to church on Sunday with my family and on Christmas Eve probably to hear the story of the birth but I don't want to miss the journey that He is taking me on right now by being distracted by the things that don't really matter.
Thank you God for bringing the manger to Christmas so that we can focus on the true meaning of Your gift of Your Son. Please focus my mind and heart on His birth so every part of my Christmas celebration will be more meaningful. Amen.
