Today

Today a bunch of people I really like left for Kansas City for the One Thing Conference. I'm so excited for everyone who got to go! May the Lord bless your trip and would He reveal His glory to everyone at the conference. It wouldn't be completely honest of me if I didn't say that I am a little sad that I couldn't go. I so want to be afloat in the sea of thousands of young adults praising the Most Holy. I'm trying not to be too sad. Jesus, I invite you here.

Today I had another Christmas gathering. I love my mom's family! They're hilarious. These are my cousins doing a Napoleon rendition. It was flippin' hilarious!



This was our little "talent show" that we did for our grandma.

Today was one of the most sentimental, beautiful and sad gatherings I've ever been to. My grandmother had a stroke a few years ago and her health seems to be declining. Before we started our "program" (talent show, hugs, Christmas blessings, games, etc), she wanted to say a few words...she began by saying how grateful she was for her family. Then she started to cry. Then my uncles started crying. Then my mom started crying. Then I started crying. I think everyone knows that this may be her last Christmas with us. It was so sad, yet so beautiful to be able to treasure this Christmas with her. I do regret not having a deeper relationship with her. I do wish that I was closer to her. But, I am sooo thankful for who she is and all that she has done for her family! And I'm very thankful to have been able to spend this Christmas with her.

Jesus I ask that you would bring your comfort, hope, strength and love to my family! I thank you that you lovingly know the number of days that my grandma has left on this earth. I pray that you would be with her children, grandchildren and friends. Draw near to her and give her peace. Amen.

Today is now over for me. It's time that I sleep.
