The Reason 

This time of year can be a happy time for many, a bad time, or just a normal season because some people do not celebrate holidays. I do (minus the santa) but since I deal with anxiety and depression, I have good days and bad days still.

Today has been so so, but I want to encourage others to not forget to take a sabbath. Do not rest only from the activities (whether they are required or for holiday time), rest also mentally and emotionally.

When I  become really stressed out, I hear:  

Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! -Psalm 46:10 (ESV)

He is sovereign. He is the great I AM. He knows my stresses, He knows my burdens, He knows me. 

If you celebrate Christmas, do not forget the true reason. If you don’t celebrate Christmas, remember God and his sacrifice for us; the lowly, sinful creatures we are yet God gave us His son. He humbled Himself so we could come before Him. 

Love eternal is with God, all we have to do is remember Him.

    Hey!

    I’d love to invite you to submit a short piece to my blog. I think your perspective and style of writing would be a perfect piece for my project.

    It’d also be a great way to get your blog/writing out there.

    Please feel free to email me (jennifer@youngandtwenty) with more questions, or take a look at the ‘BEING Young & Twenty’ page on my blog.

    I hope I’ll hear from you 🙂
