rediscovering eden
And I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon forged against me shall remain
I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here
This is my prayer in the harvest
When favour and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I've received I will sow

It's Christmas.
Somehow, I don't feel very...christmas-sy this year. The past few days have been hectic and dreary, like the weather.
Since camp, things seem to be going downhill a little. All the problems and woes started pouring, and the burden just seemed to get heavier.
And I thought, God, I thought post-camp was supposed to be a lot better than this. Charged with fuel and fire for You.
But when I think about it, it all happened because I wanted to be real.
And today, I'm rejoicing, because God sent Jesus down for us today. He blessed us with the greatest gift of all on this day, many many years ago.
His gift wasn't just for us christians. It was, is, and will be for everyone.
I have so much to thank Him for, and He's blessed me with so much, though i have nothing but my life to give.
We take so much for granted.
And give so little.
I know it's really a little cliche, but John 3:16 was really the first verse that popped into my mind when i woke up today.
=) Blessed Christmas!
thank you father, for this day.
