Day 8-Letter to Santa
Dear Santa,
I know I've been blessed with so many amazing things in my life. I don't really want many material things for Christmas so here is my perfect Christmas list.
1. To find joy in the little things in life. I know most people say they want to be happy, but for me happiness is a mood...not a destination.
2. To find more comfort in my faith. This has been such a battle for me over the past year and I'm not sure why. I continually pray for God to move my heart back to him and provide me with His comfort, yet I still struggle with this on a daily basis. I'm not sure what's wrong, but I pray for my relationship with the Lord to become stronger over the next year.
3. To not be RIFed this year. It added so much stress to my life last year, but it taught me how to be more responsible with my money and to be much more frugal. I was thankful that it happened once...I'm not sure I could take it again.
4. I would love a multitude of 2 hour delays this winter. We don't have to make it up and it allows me to snuggle with my pup for just a bit longer in the morning. Just enough of both worlds.
5. World peace
And now for my material list (all dreams of course).
1. Colts season tickets
2. A return trip to Europe
3. New TV for my living room (saving is in the works)
4. A new dishwasher that ACTUALLY cleans gunk off of my dishes
5. An organized garage
Love,
Kelly

Sophie and I in front of the tree! Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
So glad you were able to link up some of the days you missed! :) I pray that God works in your heart as well. Times like these, when you are struggling with your faith, often seem to be the times that we look back on and realize we grew the most in our faith. The awesome thing is that God doesn't move away from us...we move from him. So it's just figuring out what has gotten between us and Him. Praying your heart finds peace and that 2011 is a year of growing closer to your Savior. Thanks for sharing your heart! It's such a testimony and inspiration to hear how God is working.
