Advent: Reflection

As I think back on the 25 days of advent, the one thing that I came away with was a greater awe of God. As I read and wrote everyday about His different names and characteristics I found myself overwhelmed. That the God who is all powerful, all loving, all knowing and all mighty would want a relationship with me is so much to fathom. As much as advent made me excited for Christmas, it made me even more excited for the second coming of Jesus. I took 25 days to really seek to know God better, yet we are living in the advent of the second coming - I need to be seeking to know Him better EVERYDAY. I am so motivated to dive into the Word and seek God's face in 2013. I pray that I will spent more time with Jesus, take time to talk and listen to Him and develop my relationship with Him. For the first time, I really celebrated my relationship with Jesus on Christmas - yes I'm thankful for the gifts, but they didn't seem to matter as much this year. I found myself in awe of all that He had done and all that He promises to do. This Christmas I celebrated Jesus.
