And a Happy New Year.

Blessed Christmas to you.

This Christmas is a little... different. Well, it's been more relaxed in a way, which is good. That opens up time and space to truly think about Christmas. Not that I've been doing that much. Anyhow, I have been thinking quite a bit. Despite the hustle and bustle of running around, getting cards and gifts, Christmas is always like a checkpoint. Side-stepping awhile on the road, take a breather, look around. And maybe decide on some things.

But it's been hard. Because I've never found it particularly easy to listen to God's voice. Heck, I don't even know how.

At least, I feel like it's closer. And that it's been better suddenly. I just need more assurance. Besides, how do you know that you're ready if you've never known what it felt like to be ready?

Well then, Happy Holidays.
