Merry Christmas!!
Rejoice, Rejoice
It has always been hard for Matt and I to figure out the holidays... we grew up only 3 miles from each other, so our parents are still very close. Figuring out whose house we will stay at and when we will be with each family has been one of the hardest parts of being married for me. However, this year we were very prepared and planned out most of the details. It has been so much less stressful and more relaxing. This Christmas Eve we were at the Hunter's house. We were so excited to spend Christmas Eve with the Hunters and to have Grandma Hunter with us for the first time! It was a great evening of fun, fellowship and rejoicing in the Lord!

"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save HIS people from their sins." Matthew 1:21
A Savior was born to us this day... Rejoice and Praise the LORD!! We have all heard this verse many times before during the Christmas season, but for me it was the first time I noticed that it said, "he will save HIS people from their sins." We are the Lord's, belonging to him, and from the very beginning he came declaring us as HIS!! What an awesome privellage to be named a child of the Most High God. And to think that He came not as as a reigning king, but a humble baby. Thank you Lord for sending your son to save MY sins and claiming me as your child from the very beginning.
We spent Christmas day with the Waeckerle's. It's so fun that our families are in such different stages of life. Mine with just the six of us, very low key and mellow. Matt's family is in a fun stage as well, with grandkids and all sibblings married.

This weekend Matt and I went to Lubbock, Texas. While we were working at K-Kauai this summer Matt had the opportunity to speak during the weekly chapel. He did a great job and many families asked if he would be interested in speaking at their church or youth group. This was one of these great, God-planned speaking opportunities. A youth group was having a D-Now event and asked Matt to be the speaker. It was a great excuse for us to get away for the weekend and a great opportunity for Matt! On the way, we were amazed at all the things we saw on the side of the highway. Most of the time we were literally in the middle of nowhere, but it was fun for us to see things we had never seen before. :) Matt did a fantastic job speaking. The Lord really used him and spoke through him to work in the lives of high school students. He is great at speaking the Word and allowing the Lord to work in their lives. Best quote from the whole weekend to kind of sum up how he did (coming from an 8th grade boy) "Man! You really out did yourself... tonight was WAYYY funnier than last night!!"
