Rejoice!


Image result for Christmas pictures public domainHi guys, Page Turner here!
Wow! It's been a long time since my last blog post! My classes have been really time-consuming this year, and it's gotten away from me. Needless to say, my blog isn't the only thing that I've neglected...
  I am so excited about Christmas! I LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH! That's right, Page Turner's favorite holiday is Christmas and it is fast approaching. I have a lot of great memories tied up in Christmas, from decorating the tree, watching Hallmark movies, playing in the snow with my siblings, or wrapping presents. My favorite part about Christmas is the memories, being together, and the joy.
Christmas is about Jesus being born! That is so amazing! I can't even fully comprehend it, but it makes me so happy! Our God came down as a baby to save us from our sins. My Savior was born and we get to celebrate it with friends and family. That is reason to rejoice!
But Christmas can be really hard sometimes, when you miss loved ones, or anxiety sets in. What I love about Christmas is that we are celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Even in times of sadness or the temptation to worry, I can lean on my Comforter and know that He is trustworthy.
  I love Christmas, and in a few days, I'm going to start the 12 days of Christmas Countdown. Thanks for sticking with me, and I'm glad to be back. I'm ready to break out my Christmas spirit, because no matter what happens, traditions or not, Jesus was born...and He is alive, our Savior.
            Now that's reason to rejoice!

No Strings Attatched

"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, to make me frown!" sang little Pinocchio as he danced glibly around the stage, string-less and worry-less, as the other puppets look sadly on, connected by strings like true marionettes. Maybe you recognize this scene from the 1945 Disney Pinocchio movie. For some reason, that made me think about our strings. I think we pride ourselves to be like Pinocchio: chipper, happy, and totally independent (although not quite as wooden.) Well, in reality, we are totally dependent on God. Our talents, our future, our past, our present, and our circumstances are all in the hand's of God. Sure, our decisions change things, but God's in control; nothing we do happens without Him planning it. Good grief, we don't even control our body! You can't tell your cells to burn glucose to give you energy, or your heart to beat, or your stomach juices to digest the food. (Say it with me, eww . Very good.) But God looks after u

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Hi, I'm Paige Turner, and I'm back for the Christmas season. I'm looking forward to writing more on my blog and also celebrating one of my favorite times of the year! Christmas can be an exciting, cozy, comforting time, but it can also be filled with stress, doubt, and sadness as we think of those we miss. Wherever you are this Christmas season, I pray that you'll find peace in our Savior--something that we all need to be reminded of, including me. :) Christmas can also be an exciting time, full of joy--even during stress and sadness, a deeper kind of joy--about Jesus, our Healer and King.I'm looking forward to celebrating love, family (while eating some delicious food), but most importantly, Jesus, Immanuel, which means, "God with us." Merry Christmas!                                                                                     See you soon,

Gilligan: the Mind Reader

I love the show "Gilligan's Island." In this old TV comedy, seven castaways are stranded on an island and are constantly looking for a way off--but poor, awkward Gilligan always messes it up. Once on the show, Gilligan finds a bush with beans that enable him to read others minds. How cool would that be! I mean, forget conversation barriers, awkwardness, finding the right words to say, etc, etc. Or is it? By the end of the show, the entire group was pitted against each other, for everyone could read each others thoughts. Thoughts are supposed to be hidden from others. Even though we are supposed to take every thought captive to Christ, I know I struggle. Ugly things pop into our minds--who would want to see that?  In science fiction, mind reading has always been seen as fascinating, bizarre, and a gift. In Gilligan's Island, the Professor admits that he thought it would create world peace. Hah. But the truth is, Someone knows every thought you've ever thunk, and w
