December Already?

Holy Cow~It's nearly Christmas!
I am NOT ready, not even a little bit.
I am going shopping today with girlfriends in the big city and I'm so excited.  We shop, laugh, drink coffee and eat good food.  Nothing like fun with dear friends.
 
I have NO pictures to post.  I have a few on the camera, haven't even downloaded.  Busyness is my theme right now...running ZB around to deer hunt, taking CB to basketball practice and watching him play twice a week and just living life is keeping me hopping!  I am ashamed to say...I have not even thought about Christmas cards yet.  Wow, I'm slipping. 
 
I have to say that I have struggled to find the JOY of the season this year.  I decided this morning, I have to change my focus.  It seems to always be on the "world" and not my true source, Jesus.  It will be a challenge but I am determined to change my focus.  I know all things will fall into place if I do so. 
 
Have a wonderful weekend friends, I promise to get pics posted soon.  I know that my eloquent writing skills will not keep you stopping by!  lol
 
17 shopping days left!  eeek!

You have a great weekend too! Sometimes the busyness of Dec. is too much to take and this year the world seems a little more scary and disheartening. I think your idea to just think about Jesus and trust is the best! Blessings!

Hope you have a terrific time in the city! Last weekend I spoke with a lady who'd lost her husband and wasn't going to celebrate Christmas. she didnt feel joyful, I told her she needed to find joy, even when she didn't feel like it, because our joy comes from Jesus.
Take a deep breath and enjoy every moment....sweet friend!

Thank you for all your sweet comments! I love hearing from you!! I too thought my wall looked like a quilt - I think that's why I love it so! ;) I know - Christmas is coming so fast - I'm so far behind this year...having trouble finding the Joy of it too- (see my post, "A little different...") I hope you had fun shopping - nothing like a good girlfriend, coffee and shopping! :D Blessings to you and your family this Christmas and for 2013!!!!
