Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad!

Just wanted to take the opportunity to wish everyone a very merry Christmas!
We've made Christmas a big huge celebration, but I was reminded today that when Christ came, he came into the everyday happenings of life. He was Emmanuel, "God with us," present where the people were at.
I'm just so thankful that He was present with my cousin, Rebekah, last night. She's teaching in Belize and was walking with some friends when they were hit by a motorcyclist. She's got some broken bones and stitches--but it could have been so much worse! Please pray for healing for her--and that she'd be able to feel and know Jesus' presence as she's in a lot of pain, so far away from home....thanks.


Here's a picture of my cousin, Rebekah. Aqui es un foto de mi prima, Rebekah.

Solo quise decir "Feliz Navidad!" a todos. Hemos hecho Navidad una celebracion muy grande, pero hoy pense en el facto de cuando Cristo vino, entro en la "vida normal." Era "Emanuel," "Dios con nosotros." Esta con nosotros en los celebraciones y en la vida normal.
Estoy tan agradecido que El estuvo presente con mi prima, Rebekah, anoche. Ella esta ensendiendo en Belize y anoche estuvo caminando con algunas amigas cuando una motocycleta les choco. Se quebro algunas huesos--pero gracias a Dios que no era peor! Por favor, oren por ella--especialmente que podria sentir tan cerca la presencia de Jesus en su dolor, tan lejos de casa....gracias.
