Hello my friends what an amazing holiday season its been! Christmas truly was a great time of year for me and my family. It couldn't have started any better, because on December 23rd, just hours before Christmas Eve, I worked up enough courage to ask someone who I had been talking to every night on skype for a month and a half to be my girlfriend. The amazing thing about this is that she had been praying about this for quite some time. Even more incredible was the fact that one of her friends dad's had said this summer that the two of us would be together eventually. Well he was right, and I am now in the first serious relationship of my life. Kayley, I am so glad that I met you and that God has given us the chance to be together. It is only through His divine power that both of our prayers were answered. I've been waiting for God to show me that special someone for quite some time, and it makes sense that He would give me the answer the day before his Son came into the world to save us from our sins. I am so grateful to Him for everything he's done for me. As for Christmas itself, it was great because I got to see my aunt and her new husband, and my cousin and his wife from Tennessee. The food was great as always, and in large amounts, because my grandma Lois could easily run a restaurant if she wanted to. Then on Christmas Eve we visited my grandma Lucy at the Edgerton Care Center and had pizza for dinner. Then my family had our Christmas, and we opened our gifts, I got some CD's, the new Legend of Zelda game, a new photo album, and other things. Then the next day we had Christmas and my aunt Lynne's birthday celebration at the Hospital, then we went back to my Aunt's house for more presents. After that we went home and watched the Packers beat the Bears on Christmas Night. What a Christmas Day gift. I will write again after this weekend with my girlfriend and all of my camp friends. Talk to you guys later!
Romans 11:22-24
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: Sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. And it they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree.
In Christ, Amen
