The Advent season provides a beautiful, sometimes difficult opportunity to practice waiting. Listen to author Kris Camealy share about her Advent devotional, "Come, Lord Jesus: The Weight of Waiting." Take time to prepare your heart to celebrate the birth of our Savior.
Key Points:
--Faith gives a sense of place and a sense of purpose that the world can't offer.
--During December reflect on our need for Jesus, why Christ came and the joyful anticipation that He's coming again.
--When you feel anxiety or pressures of Christmas preparation, ask yourself "Where is Christ in this season?" and then say "no" to whatever you can.
--Rest in the season. Make actual space in the calendar to give God room.
--God shows up in different ways. He's unconventional.
--The only way to prepare your heart is to spend time in God's Word. Pray and wrestle with it.
