#HolidaySurvivalGuide
Compass? Check! First Aid Kit? Check! Flashlight? Check!
These things don’t usually come to mind when you’re preparing for the holidays, but when you consider all the commitments you have to make, all the relatives you have to visit, and all the things you have to do this time of year, it can be overwhelming. Squeezing it all in can leave you depressed, hurt and empty.
This November, join us for the series, “Holiday Survival Guide,” and learn how to conquer the stress and obstacles of the season and go from just surviving to thriving!

Holiday Survival Guide — Pt4
Expectations
November 29th, 2015 — Pastor Nathan Elder
When reality sets in and we see that our expectations weren’t met, it can leave us frustrated, hurt or even bitter. The holidays tend to paint a perfect picture of snow softly falling, presents neatly wrapped under a perfect Christmas tree and a family laughing and smiling the piano singing Christmas carols. But those perfect pictures can leave each on of us focusing on the wrong things. It creates unrealistic expectations that distort our view of the real reasons we should be celebrating
