Jesus is the Reason for the Season

I'm still working on this blogger.com thing. Mary if you read this, will I have to update yours and Steph's (or anyone's) link every time I change my template? I had to this time.

So the countdown til Christmas is in the teens. I had started Christmas shopping last month and had a game plan set. I always stress at Christmas and I shouldn't. I'm really trying to work on this. I finally got myself to quit stressing for birthdays. Christmas is the real test.

Since I had a game plan and all, I was confident about Christmas shopping. I wasn't stressed. I knew what all was going to go down and how and when.

Then something changed.

We bought a vehicle. We now have a car payment and extra insurance payment. Two weeks went by that moneys that were planned to go in a different direction, went toward vehicle preperations.

Todd keeps telling me to not stress. Everything will be fine. And I know it will. And I need to just get over it.

Jesus is the reason for the season. I've been repeating that. Because it's true and losing focus of that is not good.
