Thursday Three

It’s that time of the week. The time when I talk about three random things that have either happened or I have been thinking about in the last week and call it the Thursday Three. Because, come on, who doesn’t love a little alliteration? Ready? Go.

1. I’m thankful for Thanksgiving. We headed out to the mountains for time with the hubby’s family. This meant, we had a great meal with his grandma, hung out with our niece and nephew, did a little bit of hiking, found a few Black Friday deals (I know, it’s been years since I’ve gone shopping that weekend), ate way too many tasty snacks and started thinking about Christmas.

2. Ever burst into tears just because life wasn’t going the way you wanted? Yeah, well, that happened this week. I’m not particularly proud of that, but we can’t have you believing my life is all about holidays and an overload of awesome. To be honest, there are things I wish were different in my life right now even though I have a good life. I’m learning what it means to be okay with life not going how I planned, and that’s not easy. Thankfully there are no photos to show here.

3. Christmas is coming. We have officially entered into the month of December and are starting to prepare. When we were out in the mountains, we bought a tree, and last night we spent some time decorating. I was reading another blog the other day that talked a bit about Advent and how it meant “coming” in Latin. It really stuck with me, so I am going to try to instead of just thinking about how Christmas is coming to also think about coming closer to Christ this year.

    I love that, thinking about Christmas as “coming closer to Christ” this year! It sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving, and I hear you with your moment:). It’s so hard to fully trust that God’s timing is vastly better than our own. And I’m such a good planner so I have a hard time letting go haha. Enjoy the season!

      Ha, I think we have a few things in common. 😉 Being a planner and for that matter, an oldest child, I just want to plan things and make it happen. Sometimes hard work and determination gets results and sometimes, it’s just not the right time or thing. Hard lesson for sure.

        Yes! And I think we’ll have a lifetime of opportunities to learn that lesson:).
