As life so frequently does, my roll of writing daily on the #AdventWord has interrupted yesterday and the day before. But as we do, we give ourselves grace and begin again. The last three words have been mountains, make, and ready. I think this is ironic because in the last twenty-four hours I was worried about a child being sick, I got word that I was accepted into a program that has been on my to-do list for a few years, and the term at my university is winding down. Isn't life so often just a series of making ready for the mountains we are asked to walk? As a student, a teacher, a spouse, a mother, and friend my life is filled with so many adventures. Some of them are scary and some are exhilarating. For me, they are often both, sometimes at the same time.
As I meditate on how this process of making ready and mountains relates to Advent, I am taken back to what is has been like to get to this day. To always be thinking about where we go from here. How to get to the next point "B". I am so grateful for the journey. This journey is beautifully messy and sometimes chaotic but it's mine and I am so excited to see what comes next.
As you journey towards the light of the day ahead, take a moment if you can, and just be proud of your journey. Every step led to where you are. I'm proud of you and I love your tenacity and steps made everyday. We are getting there.
