Well, this is not something my true love will be giving me. But I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I want for Christmas over the next 12 days. Join me if you like! These aren’t going to be in any particular order, just as I think of them. So hey, if you’re looking for a Christmas gift for your favorite blogger, here’s a few ideas. 
Remember last spring when I got my nose pierced and felt all cool and edgy? To make a long story short, I had to take it out temporarily in September. I hurt my back right after that and there was no way I could stand in front of the mirror long 
enough to put it back in. So the hole closed up. It made me SO sad. I tried to keep it open by pushing an earring through it for a few days but I even gave up on that when I realized it might be weeks before I was able to actually get the screw back in. I miss my little nose bling!
I have friends who are willing to go with me to get it re-pierced, I just need to find the cash. It’s not expensive, but it’s simply not in the budget.
I mentioned back then I might share the story of why it became so important to me, and today’s the day. Back when I initially decided to have it done, I was still struggling with my faith. And then I found my new church and one of the first few times we went there was a sermon about God’s view on piercings and tattoos. The end result was that there is nothing Biblically against either one and that it was not something that Christ followers should avoid. With my spiritual re-awakening over the next few months, I kept thinking back to that sermon and thinking about how much I’d like to have it done…and when I was finally able to do it I felt like it was a personal symbol for my new relationship with Christ. Something that only I knew about, but something that reminded me of Him every time I looked in the mirror. I really miss it, and hopefully I’ll be able to have it redone soon!
Yes, I know when the 12 Days of Christmas actually are…but the next couple of weeks are going to be crazy and this is something fun and easy. Forgive me?
