We are into the season of Advent – it is a season of preparation, getting ready. On December the 25th we celebrate the biggest event in History – God entering His world, not as some "All-powerful Deity," ready to throw His weight around, but coming in weakness, humility – coming as a baby into obscurity. 
 The season of Advent should be seen as a gift, an invitation to journey towards this event, to make space to wonder – to ensure that when Christmas day comes, we are ready to worship, to be changed and transformed.
