Notes and Quotes:
When Christmas becomes more than what’s handed down by traditions, it does change everything. —Elisa Morgan
When I started understanding the crucifixion, then I started understanding the birth of Jesus. Before that, Christmas was these holiday fun things you would do and sadness processing a grief every year. —Eryn Eddy
The whole story of the Bible is about God’s love for humankind, our struggles to believe it, our choosing to do things on our own rather than believe it and God creating a deliverance for us in spite of ourselves. —Elisa Morgan
Jesus reveals us. His presence in our lives reveals who we are, what we depend on, what we believe, our need for Him. He causes us to be revealed. —Elisa Morgan
Whether you’re waiting for a relationship, or to become a parent, or a turn in your career—these things we are waiting for. To be like Simeon, changed by Christmas, in the way that we move from a trusting waiter to a fulfilled follower. —Elisa Morgan
When I think of (Anna’s) loneliness, I’ve fought through feeling lonely and neglected with prayer and fasting and worship. It’s what got me through the other side of depression and anxiety. Worship and prayer. —Eryn Eddy
