Merry Christmas Eve Eve friends!! =) I write that with all the joy and excitement I would have on this day, yet for whatever reason I am not as much in the holiday mood as I normally find myself. I can't reallly put my finger on it. I think it might have to do with the busyness of life this last week. Last week I was able to shop and get christmas gifts for my family but still have yet to wrap them up! I feel so behind! I really also wanted to get something small for each of my roomies this year, and even made somewhat of a big deal about it to them all, making sure I wouldn't insult any of them should I get them something. I had big plans to do this a few weeks ago and now its Christmas Eve Eve and I have failed in the gift giving area for my roomies I love so much. =( I hate when I build something up in this way and then end up not finishing what I had originally set out to do. Not a fun feeling in the slightest. I feel like a bad friend.
Gift giving aside, I do have good news: I worked out today!! I got to come into work late this morning, and by morning, I mean I came in at noon. I am in a classroom with the only kids we have at the preschool end, that being 10 and us closing at 4 which is marvelous I am pretty excited about my work day today. Before I worked out we had worship practice and I always love the days I have worship practice. I seriously wish it was everyday. I love getting to express my love and adoration for Christ through worship. And the fact that we are doing all Christmas songs on Christmas Sunday at 6:30pm at Doxa in honor of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus(pssst!! Come join us!!) I am a little extra excited and a little extra nervous. This is the first service where I will be leading almost the whole worship set!! Eeeekk! I kind of brought it on myself with the excitement and notion of singing Christmas songs in church, therefore I was bestowed the honor of leading most of them =) I am very honored to help serve my church in this way and do not take it lightly. I really want to do a good job! But unfortunately, what I thought I would sound like did not come out the way I was expecting to sound today. And the fact that I got really light headed from singing more than I do on a regular basis, I felt so out of it for the last song which also was tough on my mental ability to sing well. But I was encouraged by Jake(who told me whatever bad thing I was hearing was most likely all in my girl head[Guilty] and to not worry) Ryan and Cor who said I sounded great. I am most definitely my harshest critic. Thankful and blessed that God has put encouraging people in my life=) But whatever the case, I pray my heart will be filled with joy and gladness in thanking God for sending his son to earth so that I might be with Him in Heaven one day. I will be worshipping with all I have and hope that God uses me in whatever way he sees fit for Sunday to bring Him more glory.
Here's to a great start to Christmas weekend!!
