Comments on: How Did Participating In Advent Conspiracy Affect You? http://adventconspiracy.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/how-are-you-participating-in-a-c/ Because Christmas can [still] change the world (www.adventconspiracy.com) Fri, 04 Dec 2009 05:16:12 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Lisa V. http://adventconspiracy.wordpress.com/2008/10/16/how-are-you-participating-in-a-c/#comment-165 Lisa V.

I made a conscious decision not to overload my list precisely because of participating in the "Advent Conspiracy". It felt wonderful to deposit our check into the water pitcher on that Sunday. It was wonderful to pray with my Early Birds in prayer room on an early Wednesday morning. It was wonderful to focus on Advent. It was wonderful to feel the love of God surround me and my family. How can you buy that? How did we participate?

How can you buy that?

After initially not quite knowing what to think of it, I found myself truly embracing the principles..... Being more purposeful and creative in gift giving, and in completing my normal "Christmas tasks" (EARLY!), reading books like "Unafraid" by Francine Rivers, I have felt more open-hearted to give more, worship fully and love all! .....and the result in my life has been LESS STRESS and MORE PEACE as I anticipate Christmas!
