So Christmas is fast approaching and I have never been more excited then I am this year, to experience Christmas through the eyes of my daughter will change the way I look at Christmas forever. It has already changed me in so many other ways. I want less for myself and want more for her and I find myself wanting more for those who have less. I hope this is a permanent change that God has placed in my heart.
This morning I was driving into work and I was thinking about the song "Mary Did You Know?" And as a mother it truly moved me this year. Mary was such an amazing woman that God picked her to carry Jesus and raise him, raise our Savior, can you even imagine??? I can't imagine how that must have felt knowing that she was raising a son that would eventually die for all of our sins.
So on Christmas I will celebrate the birth of Jesus and I will also remember Mary who carried him and raised him here on Earth. What a privelage, a scary responsibility, sadness to know he would eventually die for us, but a joy all at the same time. What a feeling to have held our savior and to have looked into his eyes.

You're the best, sister! I know God put this reflection on your heart for a reason! :) When you look at Lydia, just think that God was that tiny once too! It's amazing!
Can't wait to be with you for Christmas!
