Church...

I went this morning. It's so pretty all decorated for Christmas, and with the stained glass windows! It's sad how Church is something we have to try to fit in to our holiday season when we have time...but yeah, since the rest of my family doesn't go, I'm not sure I'll be able to on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. So I went today. I was thinking how true it is, what the priest said. Mary had to have a lot of faith. Because God asked a lot of her. I kind of want to live that way, trusting his plan, but I find it very hard to relinquish control of any aspect of my life. I could be a professional worrier. :S But I'm trying! Humans make mistakes and there is no reset button on how we live our lives. I guess we have to stop waiting for the answer that will make it all suddenly feel ok, and just do the best we can. So we lit the last candle on our Advent Wreath this morning. I have once again forgotten how to spell the German name for it. But oh well. It's pretty. And peaceful.

Edit: I think I forgot to mention that settlement on the house we bought closed on Friday? Anyway, that means if you know me offline, I'll have a different address, as of sometime in January.
