Advent. Waiting. Coming

Its the last night of the first week of Advent, a week to think about Christ's coming, a week to think about the waiting, a week to think about the story, a week to experience change. 

 I started this week wondering, where has my wonder gone?  Do I still anticipate?   

Do I still get the chills at the thought of this God-child come to rescue me?   

And so I immerse myself in "the story" told in different ways but all pointing towards my Savior.  

All breathing wonder.  All whispering His name.  

All saying, here is the the Savior, here is the one come to rescue you.  

Advent.  Waiting.  Coming.

Advent.  Anticipation.  Wonder
