| Why am I always in a rush to get through life? I want car trips to end quickly, I cant wait for the next day, week, month, I am always looking ahead. But why am I in such a rush? |

| OK so today I watched the movie The Nativity Story. I dont know why, but I felt so broken after watching it. Like full on broken. I think there were a lot of parts that really touched me. The way that the parents were teaching their kids about God, the way that Mary grew to fall in love with Josephs character, the way that Joseph chose Mary for her virtue, and a lot more, I dont even know what to say, other than wow. It amazes me how God chose to send his son back in that time, when everything was so...lets just say difficult. And I didnt even really realize it till watching the movie. Like if Jesus were born today, Joseph and Mary could have just taken a car ride for a few hours instead of a LOOOOOONG journey...or the wise men could have taken a plane instead of the over 150 days that they were going to see the baby, or the LOOOOOONG journey to Egypt. God could have put him in such luxury, but he chose such a humble beginning for his son. Its like wow...look how great we have it, to see our family that is far away, we can just take a car or plane. To talk to someone far we can just call on the phone. We have it so easy, but I think that is one reason that Satan has such a stronghold on us, because we dont feel that dependence on God. We feel like we can take care of everything we need so we try to, and we forget that it is God who provides for us. And I liked how the movie portrayed the teaching of the word to the kids. They were telling the stories, and the kids were like entranced by them. The words hung from their lips. They knew the stories and would recite them back. And they would tell the stories to the babies. Wow...that was really awesome, and something I am looking forward to when I have kids of my own, to be able to share with them the stories about God, and for them to fall in love with him. Wow. I cant even express how exciting that is to me. Today at church the message was about how parents should be the main spiritual guides for their kids. That is so exciting to me. That the families of our congregation are encouraged to be the main spiritual guides, and them actually taking part in it. Wow how powerful will that be to the future generation. Im just wow... |

| How am I ever going to be the person that God made me to be if Im still angry that God made me this way? Why do I always look at other people and wish that I had the things they have? How can I use the things that God has given me if I am always looking at someone else? |
