My beautiful sister, we're gonna have a heart to heart about making space for Christ this Christmas -- how to prepare Him room, so we can truly keep Jesus at the center of Christmas, and lead our families in this too.
The world & culture takes the focus off Christ, and commercializes this holiday, putting the focus on consuming, but we're called to live differently and not forget or be so busy that we neglect the TRUE reason for the season.

My beautiful sister, we're gonna have a heart to heart about making space for Christ this Christmas -- how to prepare Him room, so we can truly keep Jesus at the center of Christmas, and lead our families in this too.
The world & culture takes the focus off Christ, and commercializes this holiday, putting the focus on consuming, but we're called to live differently and not forget or be so busy that we neglect the TRUE reason for the season.
Today I'm sharing 10 tips for how to prepare Him room, amidst our busy schedules, full plates, and all the pressures we feel to do more & have a picture-perfect Christmas.
Maybe peace & joy feels impossible for you this Christmas. Maybe things feel stressful & chaotic. We want it to be a beautiful life-giving, magical time, but many of us get to the end of Christmas and feel exhausted, depleted & empty because we were pulled in so many directions & pouring ourselves out for our family & everyone else that we can't find true rest & time to slow down & savor the moments, or worried about so many things, & the holiday we envision is so different than our reality.
So as the pace of our lives is likely getting faster, more hurried & frantic as we get closer to Christmas & are in the thick of final preparations & service to our families, and as we attend all the events & celebrations, let us not be in such a rush that we miss the richness of the season, and all that our Lord & Savior wants to birth within us.
He is so tenderly, patiently waiting for us in the manger. He wants to fill us with His mercy & love. It doesn’t matter how prepared our homes & underneath the tree is, if our souls aren’t prepared to receive Christ. Will we deny Him room in the inn of our hearts, homes, & schedules, or allow Him to dwell with and in us?
