Where God's Word Meets Our Mess
I couldn’t help but notice Liam sitting across the room from me in that small circle of people. He was incredibly handsome, so I immediately tried to catch a glimpse of his left hand to see if he was married or not. To my delight, he wasn’t wearing a wedding ring! But unfortunately, the evening went downhill from there.
I rarely have my quiet time anymore. I barely have time for my family, except on weekends. I haven’t set aside real relax time in a while. I rely on coffee to get me through the workday because I can’t stay awake to…ahem…work. All I want to do is crumple into a ball and cry. Or watch TV. Or sleep.

I don’t have a magical feeling this Christmas. I don’t feel exhilarated or elated. Sure, I enjoy baking cookies, Christmas shopping, and watching classic movies with my family; but I don’t feel particularly happy.
