Merry Christmas!

This has been a tough week. But it is fitting that the week would end with Christmas. The birth of the Savior. The start of a whole new way of..everything.

I have been celebrating the holiday with family, doing all the usual Christmas things. Except going to church. I am bedridden mostly, so actually getting out to go to church is impossible. I am struggling a LOT with my relationship with Christ right now. I miss the days where the Bible was the only book I was really reading, and I spent lots of time in quiet times. Life has just gotten so complicated lately.

For those who are praying for me, I just ask that you pray for my relationships with Christ and my family. It's really hard to feel like I am part of things, when everyone is so focused on my physical problems. Also, pls pray for wisdom for me, because I have a few post-op problems (excessively swelling, and the incision is not totally closing.

OK, I am sorry this was so long. I am doing 'ok', just not where I figured I would be one week after surgery. I miss my apartment, and my friends, and going to church.

But this is a season of looking forward to new things, so I will do that today!
