Gettin' ready is happening over here on Ridgegate too. Sure, we are dancing to Christmas music, celebrating loved ones, stressing over what must get done. Life is in full swing. But, today, my heart is struggling because gettin' ready means Pastor is leaving again. In the wee hours he will hit the road and drive towards his "get to." I miss him already and my eyes keep revealing my heart.
SO thankful for the job... so sad we aren't going too.
This year, while we were at the Fantasy of Tree's, Santa asked what Shorty wanted for Christmas... her answer was delicate and straight forward... "I want our house to sell so that we can be a family." This is my hope as well... a house sold to bless another and our family together.
I do so love the season of Emmanuel. I am aware more than ever just how much I need to remain in this season and not just until the 25th... Christ with us, now... today... right here... ALWAYS. The world can't change it. It can't refuse it. It can't make it untrue. And, the cry of my heart is... come... more.... what has been hidden, REVEAL.
Pastor's wife, sitting here in the sun and the warm... asking Emmanuel to get her ready... ready for what today holds... ready for what is around the corner in a couple of weeks... ready for more... however that might be packaged.
So very thankful for the gift of laughter that helps sustain. Blessed by nearness of family knowing that season too will change.
Wanting to celebrate and savor the mark of Emmanuel in my current season of remaining. Peace offers its gift, and I receive and wait... expectant that life change is right around Ridgegate's corner, and so I'm gettin' ready.
