it's almost Christmas, and I feel sinfully busy.

this is the first semi-clear moment in my head to take a minute and just say something. I'm not kidding when I say that it's been a non-stop week. I've had max of 4 hours of sleep the last few nights and nothing seems to be going right.

the truth is, I'm having trouble being encouraged. Usually I am grateful to be giving gifts to people, to extend the graces that God has given me, but I'm really mostly just wrapped up in discouragement. the truth above that is that I'm free in Christ, who is victorious. He is my master, and I need to remember that His grace covers me. I am right, before God. That is truth, overwhelmingly.

Just got to keep my chin up. Press on.

This week: received my new keyboard, stand and case. Got a settlement from the car accident when I was rear ended. Practiced for Faithwalkers with Steele and crew. Received most of the gifts I'm giving away, via mail from Amazon. Prepping to spend Christmas without my family again, since they are going out of town this year. :-( *sigh*

My prayer is that God gives me rest, and that I may steward it well.
