During the holiday season, it is easy to get overwhelmed or stressed about finances, buying gifts, having relatives in town, or figuring out how you're going to get everything in your busy schedule accomplished. However, It is important to remember the true meaning of Christmas; that our sinful souls were Saved by God's only son; that our Savior was born on this day to rescue us.

It is a time to remember the blessings God has given to us, and the love He shown, us. It is a time to take a break from the regular routines of our daily lives, and remember and worship Him. What better way to do that than through scripture?

Here are 13 Bible verses that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas:

1. Isaiah 9:6For to us a child is born, to usa son is given; and the government shall beuponhis shoulder, and his name shall be called WonderfulCounselor,Mighty God,EverlastingFather, Prince ofPeace.

4. Matthew 1:21She will bear a son, andyou shall call his name Jesus,for he will save his people from their sins.

5. Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

10. Romans 15:13May the God of hope fill you with alljoy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

12. Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

13. 1 Timothy 6:17Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
