So it's been a crazy week with the holidays and work and shopping and just life in general.
I had a great Thanksgiving, although I usually do enjoy the holidays! My family, like everyones, can be a little crazy, but we're all pretty close so I enjoy getting together with them. Makes you realize just how important family really is.
I got the majority of my Christmas shopping done, which was fun and a relief. I never have "too" much to do, but I like getting it done all at once and so far I haven't had any run ins with the crazies who go nuts over black Friday shopping!
I ended up working a lot over my mini break, which isn't necessarily fun, but the money is always nice so I can't complain too much..
I watched a friend get married in a beautiful ceremony and church and may have had a little too much wine at the reception, but that's what receptions are for LOL.
I topped the weekend off by going to church Sunday, I wasn't a huge fan of the service, which is a change for the last few ones I have been to. The guy giving the sermon was a guest at the church and he made his point, but dug it into the ground a little and I felt more like I was sitting in a lecture hall than in church.
The main point he made was one that made me think though. The message was "Guard your Heart" I believe he said that the heart is spoken about over 1000 times in the bible and how so many things effect us emotional that we need to protect our hearts and really make sure about things before doing them. Everything we witness can effect our hearts even if we don't realize it. I'm one of those people who wears her heart on her sleeve and takes a lot of things to heart. I believe easily, fall easily, am easily happy and easily sad. That's right an emotional nutcase :-) It gets me hurt sometimes and makes me learn about life a lot, but in the long run we have to watch what we let into our hearts, because sometimes you can't always mend a broken heart.
He also really talked about porn a lot, which threw me off. I have never been in a church were they go on and on about how much of a sin it is. I think he would have been fine mentioning it, but instead he kept going on and on about it, so I dunno, little thrown off there. I understood his point, but I dunno, strange.
I guess the fact that the main message got me thinking is the point, it gave me something to write about and ponder, and I am starting to realize that that's what it's all about. By attending these services I am able to think about the messages and about what God is capable or doing and what he expects of us. I am able to spread his word, even if it's just here and there.

So anyways... that was my week, I have a feeling the next few weeks are going to be non-stop between holidays, work, family, and friends.
