The month is flying by... This year, we got ourselves advent calendars for entertainment. Never heard of them before we came to Geneva. Then last Christmas, we saw these cute little things that help to count down to Christmas but it was too late then. So this year we got some and i think we overdid it a little. 😂 It seemed like yesterday we opened Day 1... It's now Day 22.
It was fun doing them together with E. It was our family bonding activity every evening.
Next week, it'll be new year. However, this month I've already started to try and figure out what's happened this year and where i am spiritually. The start of the month brought some turmoil as i struggled to believe that God was really enough for me. However, God has not left me to deal with the deceitful feelings of my heart alone. Thankfully, in His great love and mercy, before i acknowledged i needed Him, He gave Jesus to save me (Eph 2:4-5). My heart will still ache at unanswered prayers and i am struggling from time to time to believe He is enough. Yet, to know that He knows how much i struggle and yet still loves me...
Christmas is way quieter than it was last year. However, COVID ain't taking Christmas away because it can't take Jesus away. In a way, i'm thankful for COVID stealing away what Christmas is not supposed to be about- parties, christmas markets, etc.
Missing you all this Christmas <3!!!
