hey everybody :)

I slept a lot. I slept to the point that I can't sleep anymore. Also, I've kinda had an emo past couple of days just being drowned in a bunch of thoughts I haven't had in a while. About lots of stuff. I had a really good conversation with my mom which made me reevaluate a lot of things... But I've been really thankful to spend time with my family and just to relax. Not much of anything makes sense, but it's okay. :)

We opened gifts this morning and had a little family Bible study-esque time which ended up looking a lot like our LG discussions, and it was good to talk things out. Right now, everyone's frantically cooking for a delicious Christmas dinner - the turkey is being made and everything is organic because my sister is crazy like that... and I am contributing green bean casserole (which, after our Thanksgiving dinner, I had like 5 pounds leftover of at my place... and I think my roommates killed it).

I went to church yesterday, and there were many Christmas songs, which I must admit isn't my favorite genre. I don't exactly remember what most of the sermon was about, but I know I took away Philippians 4:6-9 (about the peace of God. read it, haha) from it, and also that we should let the light of Jesus into our hearts... Sometimes we're just closed off and unwilling to trust because of disappointments or failures or fears, but we are to let those things go and know that God loves us and Jesus came as the light of the world (John 1:9).

Well, merry Christmas everyone. Hope time at home is good.

- Chris
