It's about 3 in the morning here... I maybe we awake due to the fact that I had a 2 hour nap today or all the chocolate covered coffee beans my mom sent me (plus the loads of tea I've started drinking recently, but hey, it's India! Famous for its tea.)
And I know, I know, I've been lazy in my blogging lately... so here's whats up.

con·tent·ment

noun
1.
It's almost Christmas, and I've been thinking so much about little baby Jesus. I think this is the first Christmas I've had where it has really been hitting me that this is the SAME God who created the world, and the same one who died for it.
The amount of blessing in my life is just overwhelming some moments, and I sit there among a bunch of little boys shouting praise songs and I just ask God "Please let me never forget this moment. Please."
You can really learn so much from kids, (patience!), childlike faith, contentment... 5 to 6 boys shouting that they want to pray for the food, listening with wide eyes to the Christmas Story even if they don't understand everything I am saying. The eagerness to pray, and to pray for the big things like their uncle's operation to the scrape they got on their hand at play time... the faith they have to pray for these things and trust that God WILL heal them. That God will be with them, even if they don't fully understand the gospel yet.
