-I never want to step foot in a mall again. I am burnt out on sales and grouchy, materialistic people.
-Shoplifting is the trashiest thing that people do.
-I will probably never get mad or give someone the "bird" for taking my parking spot. It doesn't matter in the end. (I will probably get a nice up front spot in heaven, because I gave no way to anger, jk).
-I am always reminded its the holidays with the increase of: engagement announcements, pregnancy announcements, and iphone announcements on people's facebook statuses.
-I have eaten a whole year's worth of sweets in the justification of "its Christmas, why not?"
-And I have cried my eyes out watching one of the greatest love stories of all time, Bright Star.
-I have been the most reclusive in my whole life, wanting to only drink coffee, stare at the snow, and be in my home.
However in the end, I have learned this:
The satisfaction of God can never be measured by how many clothes I have or what new electronic I own.
I will never be seen different in His eyes with how trendy I am or how much money I can lay down on a purse.
It doesn't matter to Him.
What matters is, what have I done for the Kingdom?
What have I done? Where am I going? What am I doing?
All questions that this vacation has brought to the surface and started to refine in my heart.
One thing I can say is that I am so glad Salvation came to earth.
I was saved from a life headed for misery and despair.
He had grace on my life. He was true to His Word, He takes care of His own.
I, first hand, have experienced His fulfillment of a promise.
He saved me, and my heart feels overwhelmed by the beauty of being Redeemed.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's (I can feel its going to be a great one)!
love,
jocelyn elizabeth
