What a day. Despite the fact that I woke up a little late and was 10 minutes late for church, it was a great Sunday. Church today was great. I really liked both morning and evening services messages. I felt convicted this evening, and I begged God to grant me His grace in order for me to change the way of my heart and the impurness of it. I need a tunnel vision for God and only Him. I need to love Him more and in turn love others also. I just want His light to shine through me in all I do and in all I do I want it to be for the glory of God. But I know I continually fall short day in and day out, and so I pray and just ask Him to refresh me daily. His mercies are new every morning, and I ask for the continual work of the Holy Spirit. The Kromers are such a great couple. They are wonderful Sunday School teachers too. By far the best Sunday School teachers I've ever had. I thank God for them in my midst. I'm going to miss them when they move to Germany next summer. But anyways, they had us singles over this afternoon at their cute little ole' town Papillion house for lunch and fellowship. The meal was great. Yum...very good stuff. Then we all played a little Catch Phrase. Man, that game is a hoot. I love it! After that, we exchanged gifts the good ol' fashioned way of numerical order choosing and allowing to take each others gifts up to three times. I ended up with some chocolate and Christmas candy corn. Tonight after evening service, we all went over to the Volz's house for soup, sandwiches and sweets. We watch "A Christmas Story" and a little bit of Titanic and then a little bit of Emeril. Good times. I love our times together in fellowship. I really do value the times God allows for us to gather and just enjoy life. He has blessed us with so much, and we really do need to be thankful for what He has given us. Christmas is in 3 days. Well, actually I am writing this entry as if it were late Sunday night, but it's now 12:20 Monday December 22. Anywho, I'm excited for church on Wednesday night, and I'm excited to see family and just enjoy the wonderous reality of the true meaning of Christmas. It's great. It really is. The faith that God has given me to believe on Him and His Son, is something that I can only give thanks to him for, because it wasn't out of my own will to believe on Him or to chose him. He chose me to believe on Him for the salvation of my soul. Alright Alright, I need to go brush my teeth, because they feel quite gross at the moment. I've had a bunch of yummy Christmas cookies and baked goods today. Watch out scale, you might break! Haha, just joking. Though I did buy my parents a new scale for Christmas. I hope it works a lot better then the one they have now. The one they have now is soo off. It has to be. I leave on this note. Chocolate is good. Catch Phrase is fun. and I'm tired.
