“The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.” 1 Sammuel 17:37

Working doubly hard in November, I bought and wrapped all my Christmas gifts by the first of December. Conquering that major hurdle made December feel like there was time for everything: fun gatherings with friends, meaningful time with God, and great memory-making activities with my kids. It was one of the best Advents and Christmases yet!

Oh, how radically different January and February have been!
