the Christ in Christmas

Merry Christmas!

That God would send His Son for me?! 

I hate to have to quote Nicki Minaj on such a Jesus-y topic but it's got to be said; 

"No I'm not lucky, I'm blessed. YES."

I have been given life because God loves me so so much, to send down something so close to Him, someONE so precious to His heart. 

Purely because HE LOVES.

Have a safe, beautiful and blessed Christmas xx

you.

Be content with being who God wants you to be. You make a terrible someone else anyway.

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

Be yourself; everybody else is taken anyway.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.

Always be a first rate version of yourself than a second rate version of someone else.

Be yourself - not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.

Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you.

well, 2012, it's been a fun ride so far.

i have never been so joyful, stressed, challenged, empowered, inspired, at peace and confused in all my life.
if you were a person, 2012, i'd like to throw a couple punches at you and kick you in the gut. but i'd also like to throw you a party, to thank you a thousand times over and hug you till your insides can no longer function.

looking back, the little things that occurred have all added up to the grand picture God has of my life. i'm ashamed to say that i didn't expect anything special from this year. 

but you outdid yourself 2012. you really did.

i'm so happy that on the countless times i felt ready and desperate to give up and give in, you made me hang tight. 

you are freakin good, God. it's been an adventure i'll never forget.
