I’ve climbed up mountains in Peru, seen a sunset while on safari in South Africa, watched a storm roll in on the beach… but somehow, the beauty of God never ceases to amaze me. Especially in the little, ordinary things. Like the snow. I’ve lived in Indiana for most of my life; I’m used to the snow. Actually, I’m sick of the snow. It’s cold, wet, and not very fun to walk to class in. I’ve been complaining about it for the past few weeks and I’m really ready for Spring. But today, as I look out the window at the newest blizzard (I might be exaggerating just a little), I realize how beautiful it is. It’s the big, fat, fluffy flakes today. Everyone who’s walking through them looks like they’re floating. I kind of want to go spin around in it. Yep, me, the hater of winter. Spinning in the snow. So good job God, I can’t bring myself to hate the snow. I can only sit and marvel at the intricacy and beauty of the flakes.
Oh Hannah! I just looked outside and thought the same thing! Isn't God so good? He knows just how to cheer us when we need it. Mmm I'm in love with Jesus.

ReplyDeletebut you have a valid point. as much as i hate winter and snow and ice, God has really been using this one to work on my heart.
