Life Group & The Anticipation of Christmas

We had our first official Eckley lifegroup (bible study for those who do not know) last night and it was phenomenal! I loved it. It was so awesome to start something fresh and get new ideas from everyone. It was also really great to be able to see the vision that others have for the body of Christ! I found myself in Acts this morning, reading about the early church. I want so much to live like that, 100% sold out for GOD. On fire for him and his purposes for my life and the lives of those around me.

Other than that, we are gearing up for Christmas season around here. I cannot wait for Thanksgiving to come so that I can get my hubby to give the green light to putting up the Christmas decorations!! I love Christmas. I love everything about it, the season...the reality of what happened during this time 2000+ years ago, and I really love the time that I get with my children. The light in their eyes Christmas morning when I get to watch them open presents. I love to get gifts for my family. To get them things that I know they will really love, and then be able to watch them open those gifts...I love that morning, sitting in my jammies with my fuzzy slippers on, sipping hot chocolate, christmas music playing in the background...watching wrapping paper fly here and there. By far one of my favorite mornings of the whole year.
