Christmas!!!

So, it started yesterday, I got up at 4:35am to take my wonderful roomie to work, the excitement started then :D It was early the day before Christmas, the magic was about to happen. The stars twinkled above us as we walked out to the car. As we drove to work we talked about that day and what we wanted to do. I dropped her off and drove to CVS to grab some coffee creamer for coffee when I got home. As I brewed Folgers black silk I thought about life and how caught up we humans get in  performance and the little things that we think are so important, our respect, our worth in others eyes, our careers, how much money we need to make...Its all so stressful and so time consuming that we miss out on the little joys of life, like drinking folgers black silk coffee. I sat on our couch and stared at the twinkle lights on our Christmas tree. I decided to read Mathew 1..and 2..and 3. In ch 3 something finally struck me, I usually try to read until that happens.
It went like this:
Mathew 3:11-12 The Message
I'm baptizing you here in the river, turning your old life in for a kingdom life. The real action comes next: The main character in this drama—compared to him I'm a mere stagehand—will ignite the kingdom life within you, a fire within you, the Holy Spirit within you, changing you from the inside out. He's going to clean house—make a clean sweep of your lives. He'll place everything true in its proper place before God; everything false he'll put out with the trash to be burned."

YES! I thought to myself, please change me God because my life suck without you, I doubt my beauty, I doubt my weight as a person, I doubt my influence for you I doubt my worth in your eyes, I need you to sustain me and make my life worthy and complete because without you life makes absolutely No sense whatsoever and it is so easy to feel like a pawn in the game of life. But with God, we can make order out of disorder in our lives. Sir Isaac Newton and his laws of thermodynamics taught us that as humans order will quickly tun into disorder, only through god can order be created out of our lives.
