Advent: Prepared

Christmas is about being prepared, but it’s about preparing for the coming of Jesus. Preparing our heart. Preparing a home ready to welcome Him.

Advent: Joy

So today—and as Christmas approaches—be sure of Him and that He lives in you. Stay rooted. Even when fellow shoppers are disgruntled, your family lets you down or other obstacles are tossed your way this holiday season. Don’t let any of it shake your joy you have for your Lord, your life.

Advent: Hope

This is Advent season. The season of hope as we anticipate the birth of Jesus. When I was at my lowest, I made it worse by putting pressure on my faith. My mom hugged me and said, “Faith is important, but so is hope.” At first, I wasn’t receptive to this, but I found myself questioning what hope was to me and how it applied to my faith.

Advent: Waiting

Remember that waiting can be a blessing, and can bring an even greater blessing.
