What is your Christmas Song of Hope, Joy, and Peace?

Tis the season for so many feelings, so much activity and sounds of beauty, hope love, the songs of Jesus.
I normally can't wait for the first snow...because out comes the Christmas music and hot chocolate and Christmas lights! I love it!
Today I was thinking about all the songs I love that deal with my Savior's birth,
Silent Night, Away in the Manger, Oh Holy Night, just to name a few...
Have you ever just sat in the dark with your Christmas lights on and candles burning with Christmas music of worship to our Lord and thought about what it was like that first Christmas?
The feelings the shepherds had when they saw the company of angels?
"Glory to God in the Highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!"
I'm sure many of you have heard Handel's Messiah...oh, how that song gives me shivers and brings tears to my eyes.
And yet, a Company of Angels broke out into Majestic Song of praise...now that my dear friends would bring more than goosebumps...that would bring me to my knees!
Oh how desperate I am to see the One these angels Broke out of Heaven to proclaim to the lowly shepherds...how I am desire to be that lowly shepherd this Christmas...and always...Jesus come again and speak...because your servant is listening....
I love you Jesus...Merry Christmas!

What Prayer Can Do

Mmmm...is how I must begin this post. This morning I humbly joined a group of women into a world of great time of worship & prayer...
A time where we opened the doors of our hearts to the Lord through singing and tears...a time where we welcomed the Holy Spirit to come and move freely amongst us...a time that beautifully progressed to prayer and more tears...
Not just tears of sadness...but tears of freedom...tears of victory...tears of celebration...tears of healinig...and tears of commissioning.
This past week I have seen, tasted, felt, and heard God move in ways I have not in a long time. Starting last week at a worship service I had for a dear dear sister of mine who is moving into a new adventure with the Lord. A dear sister I will greatly and deeply miss. One who has touched the very depths of my heart..a place I closely protect and very few have been able to reach....
Then this past Wed at youth group with our teens...God showed up in such a powerful way...so beautifully...so powerfully...so tangibly...Mmmmm...He is so sweet....
And then this morning...the culmination of the week for me...to sit in His presence and just let go...to just let go and let God move in me...
I am so busy being a Christian...I am so busy holding the hurts of my teens and college students and friends and family on my shoulders...feeling as though it is my calling to carry...yet knowing I am to only pray and love and encourage...but I find great difficulty separating the two.
But this morning...Mmmmm....this morning I got to let go....oh that more women...more men...more teens...more people could experience Jesus like I did this morning...
That more could know that God is real, to know that God is good...to know that God is near....Mmmmm....
Just to know...
Thank you dear Kimmie for loving me...and for years of worship together with you with our Savior...I sooooooooooo love you....*flowing tears* We will worship together again this side of heaven...I know....
