“Then He said, "Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord." And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 Kings 19:11-12

I already find myself thinking a lot about the Christmas season coming forward in anxiety.  There are places to be, dinners to attend, gifts to buy, and neither enough time or money seemingly to do it all.  Combined with that would be the memories of people I will not see around the table due to one reason or another.  It is enough to make you a hurried, depressed (wo)man and miss the best part.   

My first experience with the song below was a Christmas play at Leitchfield Crossing.  The mother of the family was rushing around going over the holiday visiting schedule, and was running down stairs to get the decorations when she fell and broke her leg.  Still trying to get as much done as possible she was looking at catalogs as the family left to go caroling, when they fell off her lap and out of reach.  In desperation she looked up as though she were talking to God and said “God are you trying to tell me something!”  I tell you that He is seeking each of you this season, please join me in searching for Him at every opportunity this season.  Please enjoy these lyrics, and see if you can identify as well.
