God is good. And this season always has me reflecting on that for an even deeper reason - because I gave my life to Christ, after hearing the Christmas story, 10 years ago.
In this episode I share my testimony and the power of the Christmas story. A simple Christmas cookie decorating event, hosted at my college sorority, brought me from a self-centered life to a Christ-centered life. On a mission to succeed and impress the world, yet wrought with anxiety, I bawled my eyes out after hearing about the hope that Jesus offers us. I knew I needed Him.
Join me for my own story and lots of reflection on the scriptures that share the story of the birth of baby Jesus. Whether you have been walking with the Lord for many years, or are seeking answers to hard life questions, I pray that this conversation full of scripture is encouraging!
