How I'm Celebrating Advent This Year
I absolutely love the season of Advent. As soon as stores start decorating for Christmas and carols creep onto the radio (in October, like WHAT), my soul starts craving stillness and silence and a slowing down of ALL THE THINGS. I long to just simplify everything around me and focus in on what this season is all about— the anticipation of the arrival of our King Jesus.
I love studying the Word intentionally throughout Advent (which begins on Dec. 1 this year) and wanted to share resources I’m using this year and have used in years past. I highly recommend all of these! They are beautiful, helpful, and encouraging.
May this season be a refreshing one for you, and may it all be merry and bright.
