spent all day in christmas

that carols on the hill service, my absolute favorite.

together, we read through the story, from isaiah the prophet through the magi to the barn and straw he first breathed in. jesus christ. and it still takes my breath away that this is how he chose it. chose to come in that way, unannounced and unappreciated. and chills as one thousand of us shout it out together, the hallelujah loud. so loud my bones are touched. tears rise and i shake and wonder anew. reallyREALLYreally. you really did this for us? for me?

holyJESUS. thank you.

born to a virgin? what? i'm still not fully understanding of that.

more miracles, you wow me.
