vee Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ok random whining, complaining, venting post., I got an email from the Carmel in BC where they said something like "each Carmel is like a Bethlehem" but the meaning didnt really click for me until now. Id been moping and lamenting Advent and the Christmas season out here in the secular world because I dont care about the stuff the world tells me I need for this time of year, or what they say this time of the year is about like sharing and donating canned goods. I dont care about food, presents, or even spending time with family and friends I just want Jesus above and beyond anything else. With Him I have everything, without Him I have nothing even if I have a room full of food and people and I donated every can in the cupboard. Anyway I was listening to one of my favourite carols, Angels We Have Heard on High, and one verses stood out anew for me even though Ive heard it hundreds of times. [b] Come to Bethlehem and see Christ Whose birth the angels sing; Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.[/b] Bethlehem... Carmel... each Carmel is a Bethlehem where I can adore for this life on bended knee LET ME INNNNNN!!!!!! Since I cant be in any Carmel right now I will have to suffice with having a cell, a Carmel, a Bethlehem in my heart where I can adore Him and silently, continually sing His praises.

I just sent most of my post to B.C letting them know I think I now understand what they meant, I left out the let me iiinn part though since Im supposed to be window shopping. Once Ive shopped a bit more and have more certainty of where God is calling, and can tell a Community that, then I will ... knock louder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
