It's amazing what can change in a few hours.
After my "not so happy" blog post last week, within a few hours my entire world became a lot brighter. Everyone is entitled to a grumpy day, right?
But, the power of restoration came through and my Christmas season turned much merrier than expected.
Jason and I had a memorable and romantic first Christmas night by ourselves:
We traveled to New Orleans to see one-half of our fabulous family:
And then traveled to Pineville to see the other half of our fabulous family!
(even though this picture is from Thanksgiving...it's the same great people!
And we celebrated the true meaning of the season. It all felt wonderful. And made me remember how thankful I am, even in the stormy seasons of my life. Restorative time with friends and family remind us how lucky we are. I'm feeling back to normal and in a good place for a new year.
Even though I'm sad to see Christmas end, and even 2010, I know the next year will be just as filled with adventures, ups and downs, sickness and health, new beginnings, new changes and happy times. And more reminders that God is in control of all we do, think, feel and hear.
Merry Christmas (from this reformed Grinch)!
