Two weeks till I leave. Things are coming together better then I ever imagined. In the last week God has blessed me so much. I have all the funds I need for my DTS, thanks to all my wonderful family and friends, and job. I have also purchased a iPad, so that I can continue to update my blog and keep you all up to date on my adventures in Costa Rica. I feel over blessed with all that I have and wish that I didn't need any of this to get over there, but such are the ways of life and I am so grateful to God and everyone who has been right there beside me, encouraging me and supporting me.
As you all know I leave soon. I cannot believe it's in less then two weeks. I have started filling basket of things I'm going to start packing in the next little while. I also got a backpack for christmas that I will be taking with me for the outreach phase of my DTS. I have a small sleeping bag, thanks to a dear friend, and many other things that would take to long to list.
I still feel over whelmed by everything I need to get done, but I know its all going to come together. I am taking a day off from thinking about it all to remember the reason of this wonderful Christmas season.
Jesus
Matthew 1:18-22
18 The birth of Jesus took place like this. His mother Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. Before they came to the marriage bed, Joseph discovered she was pregnant (It was by the Holy Spirit, but he didn't know that.) 19 Joseph, chagrined but noble, determined to take care of things quietly so Mary would not be disgraced. 20 While he was trying to figure a way out, he had a dream. God's angel spoke in the dream: "Joseph, son of David, don't hesitate to get married. Mary's pregnancy is Spirit-conceived. God's Holy Spirit has made her pregnant. 21 She will bring a son to birth, and when she does, you, Joseph, will name him Jesus- 'God's Saves' -because he will save his people from their sins."
Jesus - God Saves
At this time of the year I take a moment to think about the day the Son of God come to earth. The day God made himself a man to create a way for me to one day be with united with Him in heaven and to be an example for me of how to live my life fully sold out for Him. Jesus was the perfect gift and I am so thankful.
Please take a moment to remember the real reason for Christmas
Much love,
Hannah
