Finals and Christmas. In many ways they seem like mutually exclusive things. They cannot possibly overlap or coincide. Finals drain us of all our energy and cheer, make us anxious and are continually monotonous. Christmas is the farthest thing away from all of those. It is characterized by joy, peace, goodwill and good news (as I have probably made clear in other posts)!
I got in a short conversation yesterday about how easy it is to forget about Christmas in light of this finals week because oftentimes the stress and work we put in can suck all our joy dry. It is so easy to lose sight of this season, because after all it is a season of Advent. Not just a day or two days on the 25th and 24th.
This is a short post (for once), but I simply pray that Christmas and Finals might coincide and collide. That they might both exist together and we might continue to have joy. Happiness is fleeting and is often replaced with anguish or anxiety. Joy can remain even during times of duress. Please pray for all my friends and for me that we might experience this Christmas season as it is meant to be experienced. That the Christmas season might not pass as by as we get distracted by necessary things, but also that we might remain diligent in our studies to pursue excellence for God's glory!
Thanks.
