Christmas Baby

all is calm, all is bright
’round yon virgin mother and child,
holy infant so tender and mild.
sleep in heavenly peace.
sleep in heavenly peace.

May we find our Savior in the lease of these.

Joy to the World!!!

Tonight I sang karaoke for the first time in my life. It was amazing! I sang with the most wonderful girl and she smiled the whole time and I love her. God I love to see her smile! And when we were done, people cheered for us. You need to understand that I would have NEVER done this before… never.

I went dancing for the first time last night, in a legendary blue sport coat and plaid pants. My feet hurt, but my spirit is still carrying the beat. I danced with stangers and friends and danced hard. Who would have thought? This isn’t me. This is someone else, somone new and I like him better.

I forgot that there’s no school tomorrow because I want to go teach art to children. I want to hug them and show them that I care. I found out how much it means to me that grace is in the darkest places and suddenly I care about people that I don’t even know, people that I used to hate. This love is in the ones I love the most.

Tonight I found God in the bar, on my knees, in the dark walking home with my best friend, behind the mike, without shame or fear. I am not who I was because of this Jesus and that is beautiful. I am seeing Him in you, in your pain and in your smiles. I will sing with you and dance with you and love you freely because I AM FREE.
