advent; coming in the mundane

Advent

Well were back at it again, somehow, and i am thrilled to be here, its almost as if we continue on our intentionality series and yet its also different, its advent! the preface of the post is waiting, and today i want to focus more on the waiting, the love, joy, peace, and hope in the mundane the everyday busy schedules, and i hope that you enjoy.

Now i could day i'm thrilled with Christmas... the parties, the outfits, the food & presents but those things come on the weekends, the ins and outs of everyday don't happen all the time and the reflection that you have throughout the week reminds us of how closely intertwined we are to the couple that wandered the streets of Bethlehem and how close we are to the baby born in a stable. Advent although a Christmas activity does not stop there, it doesn't end when the decorations come down or the tree is discarded it continues forever. Advent means coming, coming means (simply put) due to happen or just beginning. just beginning advent is really anticipation forming in our hearts thats enough to last a whole year and then it's just beginning... there is so much to unpack to wait for which is why we need advent to usher this all in for us... Jesus 

In this series we will unpack advent...  the period of four Sundays and weeks before Christmas. This is the coming of Jesus into the world. Christians use the four Sundays and weeks of Advent to prepare and remember the real meaning of Christmas. 

What advent is and what it isn't, how to prepare and how not to prepare, and much more, so find your cozy spot and settle in because this journey will take you on a wild ride for the rest  of your life.
