Third Day of Advent
What might most help me this Advent to await Jesus’ coming with more openness and trust?
To let go of my fears and insecurities that God doesn’t love me, but to know deep within my soul that God does Love me for who I am and the choices I make whether or not they are in the footsteps of following God’s word. I have to let go of the past and trust in Jesus that it was meant to be view as love, guide, and hope for a deeper connection with God. It’s very hard to let go of your past and having a deep relationship with Jesus and the Church that it was hard for me to understand the meaning of closing MY church due to the Church scandals ten years ago. It still hurt me today, but I have to say the church we go to now, is very similar to the church I had to say goodbye too. It wasn’t easy, to say the least, but without realizing it, I have let go and moved on from this experience. I love going to church and talking with God and my close family members who have passed on. I have connections with other families at the church and we all sit in the same pews every week. It’s a great new extended family and it's nice to have that kind of connection again. With people who have experienced the same situation, I have my faith and trust in the Church. But I have to let go of the situations that I’m forced to deal with because, in the end, it's a lesson to always remain open and trust with an open heart. I have done it without realizing it until I’ve thought about it. And this will help me to grow and gain a deep connection with Jesus to entrust him with my life. To know he is always there to guide me in all my adventures on this earth. In my own personal life, with family life, work life, friends life, and the world of writing life. I know he is with me every day, holding my hand, telling me to let go, and all with fall into place as it was meant to.

Fourth Day of Advent
How have I most experienced Jesus intimately living in me and in others?
Jesus has been living intimately in me since I was born and his soul and my soul are fused together as one. Jesus whole message was for all to love and be loved. Sadly, not everyone experiences this on a daily basis. I am loved and I’m grateful that I mean so much to one person that I understand what that love means. I would give my life to those I love without question. I am kind, friendly, caring, compassionate, and forgive with an open heart. I share this love with all those that I meet, my friends, my family, my students, my co-teachers, and many more people out there in this world. I share my love with complete strangers. I participate in the giving tree, where you pick an item to buy for those in need. I do this every year and I have no regards. I only hope to put a smile on someone’s face who thought of them, even though I have never met the people the gifts I get, go to, for the family to celebrate Christmas. I participate in the Friends of the Poor Walk every year with my Dad. We typically walk a mile in someone else's shoes so to speak. I collect donations from those who are interested in donating, I never push someone to do something they don’t want to do. The money raised goes to buying families in need food, clothes, and other needed supplies. I always donate canned foods to food pantries for shelters. And I offer my time to others in a time of need. I don't push anyone away and I always offer an explanation if I’m unable to do something for whatever reason.

Fifth Day of Advent
How has Jesus presence in me and my life given me more hope?
I don’t even know where to start on this and express with a full heart. Just recently, with my Mom, and her personal struggles and finding a way to overcome the emotional ride, Jesus gave me more hope in prayer. Taking the time to hear my words and call to help my Mom be a fighter to overcome her struggles that she was able to hear the great news, but she remains a fighter. It gave me hope to know that prayers are answered when we least expect it. We never know when our prayers will be answered, or ever will be answered, but to trust in Jesus that they will be answered. That’s the whole point. Prayers are and will be answered. It's the when we don’t have an answer for. And it’s why I’m so determined to find my confidence in writing good (well) written stories and wanting to be better now. I’m a patient person but at the same time, I want the results, the proof in my face. And sadly, with writing, it’s been a roller coaster journey, to say the least. I’m getting better at letting the words just flow and come out of my mind and onto the page. I’m comfortable reading my stories out loud during the editing process. A part of the writing process I’m not too fond of, if I were being honest. But I’ve learned a lot over the past few years about writing and the craft of writing as well. As a writer, I never truly understood the editing process. How time-consuming it really was. How it's the hardest part of writing, to be honest. And now that I’m aware of these things in writing, I need to remind myself to be patient, but sometimes I just can’t. I often wondered why I’m not so very patient with my progress of writing and then I think back to wanting to prove to all those teachers and people who told me that I couldn’t write for beans. And I think I push myself so hard just to prove it to myself that I am capable of writing well-written stories. I want to get better at my grammar and mechanical issues of writing, as well as discovering my own style, voice, the rhythm of writing. So Jesus sent me new friends to help guide and support my journey in being a writer and knowing that each story I write will have its own emotional adventure and surgery to go through and each story to get better and better through all my practice in writing different stories. These friends gave me hope that I can accomplish this goal. They support, encourage, guide, and hold my hand and wipe the tears away when I’m struggling through my writing process. They have helped me to see that writing is an art, a craft, that is learned through experiences and practice. I’m improving at my own pace, one step at a time, with new strategies and suggestions to help guide my way through in becoming a better writer. A knowledge writer with valuable resources to ease the way. To let go of the fear and insecurities that I’m a horrible writer who’s learning how to accept that I’m getting better every day. And Jesus taught me that through hope that it's the journey to value compared to the end product of becoming a bestseller writer.
