Christmas is ... a time to mark our progress through this earthly journey. Every December we can look back and marvel at the designs of God and realize how very little we are in control of the events that shaped the past year. Then, with hearts full, look to the celebration of that silent, holy night, and all its certainty. Because of Christmas, this we know: Christ was born for us. He is love, and the plans he has for us always surpass those of our own.

God, please now my future see, make it clear where I should be. Open windows, close the doors, not my will, my God, but Yours.

I came to Christ in my early 20s.

God stays awake all the time. In case we need to talk to Him about something.

I always knew I wanted to be a writer.
