So Much...Oh so Much!

So much for my soul this Advent season...

The waiting,

the anticipation,

the longing

for what God has for me

is finally here.

The desire to sit at His feet

came early

too early if you noticed.

 I pushed into Advent

seven days early,

as shared in my recent post

"Advent's Awakening".

Without lifting the calender page

I expected only 3 Sunday's before Christmas

in December,

but no,

there are 4.

And so I began reading "old" Advent devotionals

over a week ago!!

Eager,  yes:)

But yesterday

 I opened my new book for the season

on schedule...

Ann Voskamp's

"The Greatest Gift"

Oh so rich and full

"...the heart that makes time and space for Him to come

will be a glorious place."

"Advent, it is made of moments.

This slow unfurling of grace."

Ann Voskamp

It was a couple of months ago that my Spiritual Director

made this statement--

"Maybe you will decide not to help anyone during Advent Season

and just focus on God."

In the moment

and even still

that sounded so selfish

and so impossibly possible!!!!

To "just" sit with God

in December

and shut out this

torn,

broken,

pain-ridden

world????!!!!!!!

I have prayed and listened for God's invitation

to 

whatever He was calling me to.

And though He hasn't invited me to

a place at His feet 

for the entire month,

He most assuredly

has invited me to long and leisurely

times in His Presence

And there is so much...

oh so much!!!
