My Christmas List

That's right, its that time of the year again. My dad called the other night to ask what i wanted for Christmas this year. My response was very simple, "Not that much, i mean i would like some stuff for the apartment (coming in May) but i dont need anything." its something i had been thinking about for a few weeks... i have more than i could ever ask for. a great family and wonderful friends, the opportuntity to get a good education, and to make a difference. not to mention all the material things that become more and more useless everyday. So what do I really want this Christmas? I still dont know- but im thinking more about it than ever before. maybe i want to give a couple the opportunity to adopt the child they cant have.. or maybe i want to help a young woman in kenya go to school... or maybe just be able to drink water. This has really been on my heart lately and God is teaching me so much about sacrifice (especially financially) and the blessings that he pours out when I put others first. still pondering.
