Merry Christmas

    Christmas! I love Christmas for so many reasons. Yet the greatest reason to love Christmas is because it gives us a chance to reflect on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. If He had never been born, if he had never lived and died for us, we would still be living in darkness, without hope.

    I know the holidays may have looked a little different these past two years, but the reason to celebrate has not changed. Praise the Lord!

    I hope all of you have a blessed day. Merry Christmas!

The Past Two Weeks...

Hello, everybody!

    I intended on posting earlier, but life has been very busy, lately. This week, I am dealing with lots of midterms/finals and just finishing up lots of school in general. I am more or less swamped. *sighs*

    I have a couple posts that I'm planning on writing/posting in the near future, but for now, I am just going to give a quick update on life. Obviously I already mentioned school. I'm thankful that the semester is almost over.

    We recently had a holiday event at my co-op, which was stressful, but also fun. There were a lot of performances to watch as well as some contests to participate in. 

    Also, my family started decorating the house for Christmas recently. We had fun working together and getting some things done, even if we've been to busy to really stop and finish everything.

    Last week the PSAT scores came out from the testing in October. I had to take this test, so it was fun to see how I did, and what I need to work on.

    I also got a chance to do some reading, which *ahem* I have not done in a very long time, due to all my school assignments that take priority.

    God has shown His mercy a lot during the past few weeks, and I'm so thankful for the great God we serve 

     Finally, if you have any post ideas for me, I would love to hear from you all in the comments! Have a blessed week!

Resetting My Priorities

So, I thought I would give reason to why I haven't posted in a little while. I know it hasn't been an extremely long time I've been away or anything, but my posting has been irregular, so I want to give an explanation.

    This year, I've had a lot more school work, as well as other responsibilities. And lately, I've come around feeling empty, struggling to hold on in this new season. I've been walking a tightrope between what I want my life to look like, and what it does look like... along with the downward spiral it could easily be. 

    I'm finding that this is a terrible place to be. It's a place where nothing happens, when you are so stretched between the two sides, that it becomes impossible to move at all. 

    I've realized that my priorities are off. God needs to come first in life. Then I need to honor and respect those God has put above me as authorities, because He tells me too, not because of how they act towards me. I'm also realizing sometimes I tend to put these people before God, which is not right either. They absolutely need to be honored, but that is not the same thing as worshipping them, as if their opinions were more important than His. 

    Finally, I need to fulfill my responsibilities, because they are the responsibilities He has given me. 

    I've heard all of these things before of course, but it never occurred to me that I might not be following them as I ought too. In the past couple weeks, I've had to really face these things, and realize that I need to leave this tight rope I'm standing on altogether, and pursue after this order only.

    In light of all that, I've found it hard to jump on and blog. I don't want to share things just for the sake of sharing. I want to make sure everything I share is for God's glory, and really true for myself first. I would appreciate prayers that I would keep working towards resetting my priorities, and that I wouldn't fall back. Also that God would give me the strength I need to stand strong for Him.

    I hesitate to share this at all, but it is where I am right now, and I don't want to sugar coat things. 

    On the lighter side, I do hope to share some holiday posts soon, and I'm definitely looking forward to that!

For now,
Linnea
