I'm Trying to Love Advent

I love Christmas. I am trying to love Advent. To be honest I am not that good at waiting in my life. Perhaps many who read this could identify. On the whole, we Americans are not the most patient bunch.

During this Advent season, I want to jump straight to celebrating Christmas. I love the fun and festivities. I love the lights and the music and the cookies…all of it. But I think God is also wanting to teach me something about waiting. Not rushing through to the end, but waiting on him and his timing. He is teaching me how to trust him with a promise before I see the final fruit.
