I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas Day filled with joy, peace, and love. 🤍

For Christmas, my parents surprised me with my first pair of pointe shoes for ballet so that I can reach my goal as a ballerina! As soon as I unwrapped it, I instantly started crying tears of joy! 😭🩰🤍

In addition to my pointe shoes, they got me some very helpful ballet books to help me learn how to dance on pointe as well as improve my turnout. 🩰📚

If you are reading this, mother and father, thank you so much again for the beautiful pointe shoes! 🫶🏼🩰

I am so happy and excited to start ballet dancing on pointe for the Lord, for it is a desire of my heart from God and a childhood dream come true. ✨

With this gift of pointe shoes, I am also reminded of the Scripture verse, Psalm 37:4 (NIV) which says, “Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart. 💕

Furthermore, I have found that as I have taken delight in the Lord in my daily life, He has truly given me the desire to be a ballerina who dances to glorify Him and praise His Son, Jesus, boldly. 🩰 🙌 🎶

And with that being said, it is true that if and when your desire aligns with God’s Will for you and your life, the Christ in Christmas will give you the desires of your heart in His right timing, whether that be on Christmas Day or any other day. 💕✨

Lastly, as I embark on this journey and continue studying the art of classical ballet, I want to remind myself and you, reader, of the Scripture verse, Philippians 4:13 (NKJV), which says, “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me”. 💪✨

This Scripture verse keeps me encouraged and reminds me that I can do all things, including ballet dancing on pointe, through Christ Jesus Who strengthens me. 🩰✨

For you, reader, it may be something completely different that you are passionate about and are interested in doing, but the Scripture verse still applies to you and your God-given desire. ✨

With all of that being said, I hope that you found this post to be valuable and encouraging, reader, and if it resonated with you, feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section down below, for I would love to hear from you. 🤗🤍

Merry Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!

I hope that you are having a lovely Christmas day today filled with love, joy, and peace. 🎄

Over the years of celebrating Christmas, I have seen how much I have changed. When I was a little girl, I looked forward to receiving gifts. Now that I have gotten older, I look forward to giving gifts, as giving in itself is a gift. When I give gifts to my family and friends, I love seeing their joyous reactions and surprised expressions! To me, giving gifts is a way I can express my love to the people I care about. 🎁

Because of this, I am very thankful to God for giving all of us the greatest gift of them all: salvation through Jesus Christ. Salvation is what Christmas is all about. It was a gift made for all mankind who was plagued by sin and suffering. It is a gift that cannot be earned by any amount of money or any deed but was freely given through the birth, life, and sacrifice of Christ. And so, for all of us plagued by sin, and for those who are broken, downhearted, and lonely, we have been saved by grace. All we have to do is go to Jesus, recognize Him as our Savior and receive His gift of salvation. ✨

According to Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV), Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

This is what Jesus is saying to you, reader. If you are burdened by your sins and life’s struggles, then turn to Jesus. He will give you the comfort and relief you need. Our souls and minds can be full of troubles in this life, and there is so much trial and tribulation. However, know that God will never leave you or forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV), and He will give you joy and peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7 NIV).

So, this Christmas, as you give and receive gifts to and from those you love, remember that we were all given the greatest gift, Jesus Christ, who brought salvation to all mankind. You do not need to buy it, nor work for it. All you have to do is go to Jesus and simply receive it. ✨
