Happy December!
Happy December everyone! 
God has had me in Galatians this morning; particularly chapters 3 and 4.
As I have been talking to God about preparing my heart for Christmas, He has been teaching me to see the bigger picture of all we are truly celebrating.
I have always spent time at Christmas focusing on all that surrounded Jesus being born. I would consider and reflect on a young engaged couple, a journey with a donkey, an innkeeper, a manger, shepherds and angels, kings bringing gifts and all the details of that amazing story.
Now, I am coming to realize that remembering the story surrounding Christ’s birth is only
a
small
part
of
the
whole
celebration.
“Christ came” seems so small in relation to the truth of that moment in history.
God has been teaching me that Christmas is so much more than the manger scene.
“But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman…”
Galatians 4:4 esv
The coming of the promised Savior marked an amazing moment in time.
It was THE beginning of God’s plan set in motion.
Without Christmas there would be no Easter.
Without a birth there would be no cross.
This December, I am going to be spending time on my knees, at His feet and in His Word learning straight from God Himself to see the bigger picture of CHRISTmas and blogging about what He is teaching me.
