Christmas this year didn’t go quite as planned
Christmas Eve my brother’s family got a nasty stomach virus that rendered them contagious and miserable. My parents live in an apartment on a lower level of their house and we surely didn’t want the virus to make its way downstairs😳
So we adjusted and changed up our plans.
Flexibility and a little collaboration and we came up with a plan.
We met outside to exchange gifts! 🌲🌿🎁
Life has certainly not gone according to my plans and dreams either. I often say I am a “married widow” as Alzheimer’s has certainly stolen the Curt I knew.
I would have never chosen this plan nor wanted it. And if I dare say I haven’t liked it either!
BUT as with Christmas Day I have learned to embrace this plan, make the best of it, look for moments of joy and trust the process and make adjustments and be flexible 💕
Trust the process means trusting in God’s plan. This has has not always come easy for me. But 9 years into this journey I have learned the joy of truly Trusting the Lord with ALL my heart. So many times I have leaned into the life of Jesus and have identified with that.
Jesus comes into the world through a virgin birth, he lives a humble life, he shares life with the disciples and eventually suffers and dies a brutal death for us! Wow not a plan I would have conceived nor wanted to be a part of. Yet in hindsight I see the beauty of it and how it has changed the world for God’s purpose💗
A true Christmas Gift🎁

So as 2019 comes to a close I look forward to continuing to adjust, be flexible, and savoring and reflecting on all that God is doing. “Our God, will you not judge them? For we have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us. 💕We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.💕
2 Chronicles 20:12 NIV
