I'm Weird and Proud of IT!!!

Yes, it was a Merry Christmas for my Family. God is Good! The special part is that we did not run around as much this year and stayed home more so we could focus on what Christmas is really about! I am so thankful we did this and will try harder next year to "Tweak" the schedule even more. We did take a trip to visit friends and family -so nice to be with loved ones. It was brought to my attention that I was weird for "Pushing Jesus" in my Christmas Letter. I was so shocked at that comment coming from a Christmas Celebrating family. In my letter I just encouraged folks to read the Book of Luke-it has the Christmas Story in it! Yes, I was Not prepared for the comment-I'm sure so many of you could of handled the response in a much better way. It did encourage great conversation in the car for the Hubby and I-how so many people celebrate Christmas without Jesus..so sad. I am learning the more I talk about God outside of the normal church time some people really think it is out of the norm. God prepared me for this trip in a devotion that said I will be persecuted for my beliefs-even from folks so close to me. The other verse that was on my heart during this night of questioning was "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the Power of God unto Salvation to every that believeth." Romans 1:16 Bible Memorization is an amazing tool! All night long this verse covered my negative thoughts-So Thank you AWANAS!!! Its hard to hear the words and see the smirks from loved ones so dear but I am still me and if that includes being Weird then so be it! I'm Weird and Proud of it!

Oh the Places we'll go Next Christmas! Ho-Ho-Ho!
