Good things come to those who pray.

"Believe in what your heart is saying
Hear the melody that's playing
There's no time to waste; there's so much to celebrate."

I was prepared to spend tonight crying my eyes out, alone in my room. Sometimes, there are sacrifices you have to make, and not going home for Christmas was one of them. Hardest thing I ever had to accept, I'd never been away from home on Christmas before.

And that was all before about 3:00PM today, when my boss told me I was off tomorrow, and to have a merry Christmas.

God loves me. It's amazing.
I almost started bawling in the middle of the restaurant. Embarrassing much? Ya.

Well, guess I'll get on the road :) I've got a big family to get home to. (And I didn't tell them. So when Vinn pulls into the driveway, it'll be like a Christmas wish come true.)

The magic of the holidays never ceases to amaze me; the love and joy it brings to everyone, even those who don't believe.

Hey, Jesus? Happy birthday, I love you.
