Last week of school

This coming week will be my last week of school for the semester before a much needed break. I'm done with classes, now I just have finals. This weekend has been really relaxing. I got to go see Lauren play basketball, watch Dana (my roommate) sing in the George Fox Christmas concert, and go to the Penn 2 (the floor I live on) Christmas party, where we had a gingerbread house contest and made shirts. I have pictures, but not my computer, so I'll put them up when I get it back. I've barely studied at all, but I'm not to stressed about finals. We don't have school tomorrow either because it is "Dead Day"! Only four more days till I get to go home!

I've been thinking about Christmas lately and how crazy it is that God came to earth as a baby. He was limitless, yet because He loved us so much, He became one of us, in the humble form of a baby. The pastor of the Foursquare church that I've been going to put it into perspective that it would be like if God gave us this compassionate heart for flies and there was this huge epidemic that was going to kill them all, and the only way to save them was to become one of them. Why would any of us want to become a fly or even save one? It's the same way with God. Just like flies, we can be so rebellious and annoying, yet Christ loved us so much that he took on our form to save us. I am so thankful that I serve a God who loved me enough to become like me and live the perfect life, then die for me so that I could know how to live and by His grace live eternally with Him!
