It seems to be that this has become more of a “catch up”
blog than anything else. I am finding that time is slipping away from me faster
and faster each day. I am always on the go, which leads to no time for
blogging. I am sad that I am not able to spend more time blogging, but I at the
same time I am thankful that I am able to stay busy and feel perfectly content.
Whether I am working, going to school, hanging out with friends and family or
just simple sitting down to catch my breath, I am able to find the joy in it
all. I love busyness and stillness just about the same, and I feel like I have
the best of both worlds when it comes to both of those things.
Last Tuesday I finished my third semester of college. It was
a pretty dreadful semester to say the least, and I was more than happy to get
it over with. The week prior I spent hours upon hours studying and trying to
make sure I was well prepared for each exam. With that though came tiredness. A
tiredness that my body had never quite felt before. I was completely worn out.
Everyday I reminded myself that Tuesday December 9th would come
faster than I thought, and it did just that.
The last couple days of freedom have been so enjoyable. I
feel so refreshed already, and it’s only been a couple days, I can’t even
imagine how refreshed I will be at the end of my break. The season is my
absolute favorite! I love the joy, love and pure generosity that is spread all
around. But there is one thing that often goes unnoticed and it’s that not
every person is able to feel that love and generosity like all the others. Some
people feel the need to put a mask on to so that no one can see the pain and
suffering they are going through. No one should have to feel that they can’t
express how they are feeling at any given moment. We are all human and we have
have bad days, weeks, months and even years. It’s totally normal and everyone
should accept it. We are all dirty, maybe not on the outside where everyone can
see, but on the inside. We all have dirt that fills up parts of our heart and
life, and that is ok.
Together we can make a difference though, we can show the
true reason for the season. It’s not all about the presents and the perfect
life. It’s about being humble and expressing our love for our Lord and Savior.
This time of year might be busy, but it is never busy enough to not be able to
be a kind and generous person. And it is most definitely never too busy for us
to not be able to spend time with our Lord and Savior.
So whether you are suffering or full of joy this holiday
season, make sure you know that it’s okay to express whatever feelings you are
feeling. There is not one single person that lives a perfect life. As always, I
encourage any and all of my readers to take that extra minute and pray for
others, and compliment a stranger when the time seems right. You might be that
one person that truly shows they are loved and do not go unnoticed.
Like I said earlier whether busy or not, I am beyond
blessed for the glorious life and time I am given!
