Just a little something to give your Christmas a different perspective...
Isaiah 9:6-7
"For to us a child is born, to us a child is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace/Wholeness. Of the increase of his government/reign and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty (The Lord of the Angel Armies) will accomplish this."
Mary's Song
Luke 1:51-53
"He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty."
So what is she singing about the very first Christmas?
She's singing about how EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW! God has entered the world in a way never seen before and now there's real hope that all can be different and aligned with the way God wants them.
Where do you need God to move in your life? Where have you lost hope?
Celebrate our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Shalom/Wholeness/Completeness today.

Hey Ben - great to hear from you! I hope you and Jen are doing well. Glad to find your blog too. I am going to be in Muncie for family practice at the end of Feb into most of March. There is a chance that I will be stationed closer to Markle/Marion but I will at least be in your neck of the woods. We should plan on hanging out during that time. I will keep you posted.
Happy New Year!
-Jordan
