SNOW DAY!

Yay for snow days! The whole family is home, the snow looks awesome and the sun is shining! I just love it!

I'm a little excited....can you tell?

Last night was a little scary though. The wind was wicked and it kept waking me up. At about 2am I went to look out the window in Emily's room. Between the snow drift completely covering the bottom part of the window and the huge icicles hanging from the roof, I couldn't see. Plus, I'm short and that certainly didn't help.

As I type now, it reminds me of a particular storm in my life. I remember I felt as though I was in a fog, I couldn't really see anything and when I could see something it was a crazy storm wreaking all sorts of havoc around me. Last night I was so thankful to have a warm home to protect me as the storm raged on around me, and I'm so thankful that I have Jesus to protect me when life's storms do the same!

Disaster will swirl around us....but we can take refuge in Him. :)

Last night the storm was a little scary and really crazy.
Today, we see the result of the storm.
Beautiful snow and the sun shining down.
Oh, and we can't forget-SNOW DAY!

Psalm 27:1 & 5
¹THE LORD is my Light and my Salvation--whom shall I fear or dread? The Lord is the Refuge and Stronghold of my life--of whom shall I be afraid?
 ⁵For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; in the secret place of His tent will He hide me; He will set me high upon a rock.


Psalm 51:1
 ¹ Have mercy on me, my God, have mercy on me,
   for in you I take refuge.
I will take refuge in the shadow of your wings
   until the disaster has passed.
