This is the week leading up to Christmas! We've put our tree out, added some gifts, baked some shortbread to give to the neighbors, ( which was super tricky when you don't have the proper measuring tools.) This week we await to go to the Christmas Eve service at the Vineyard Church. Going to church on Christmas Eve is certainly tradition for our family.

I typically like to go with the glass half full approach, but I've decided with the journal entries I'm doing now that I want to be honest where I am in my journey or at least with today.
