Drawing Near to God in the Midst of Holiday Stress
Manage episode 247997153 series 2525111
We’re headed into the holiday season, a season of feasts but also of family stress.

The question is, can we invite Jesus to walk with us in our complexities. Can we sift through the fog of our internal narratives and find Him in the nativity? There is often so much joy to be found but we can be run over by stress, by to do lists, and triggers, and we miss it all. But here’s the question: Can we stay awake to the Presence of Jesus?
