Snowday


March 1st is finally here and with it comes a day of snow.

Snow?

Wishing for an early spring seems to be a long shot. The snow has been falling since noon. We've had a very lazy day ... napping on and off, watching movies and reading. I love how God has a way of forcing us to slow down. We certainly needed this time of rest.

Thank you for your comments on my previous post. I almost deleted it today. I'm not good at talking about the 'ugly stuff' and being the private person I am makes it all the more difficult to share things on this blog, but I know that other women struggle with the same kind of things. That's what blogging is all about, isn't it? So I pray it helps to know that we're never in this alone. I know that brought me comfort. Oh, and to 'anonymous' that posted the words to the song sung in church this morning? Thank you! I read that comment and felt this weird feeling that someone was looking over my shoulder knowing exactly what I would need to read. I have no idea who you are, but know that I SO appreciate your prayers. I feel them!

Switching subjects ....

I have known since I posted my last scripture on the LPM blog what my next one would be. I, of course didn't know how much I would need it, but I guess that's the point of hiding God's word in our hearts, isn't it? If we're praying and seeking the Lord on what He wants us to memorize, He'll usually give us something we're going to need for battle. I've chosen Psalm 18:16-19:

"He sent from above, he took me,
he drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
and from them which hated me:
for they were too strong for me.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity:
but THE LORD WAS MY STAY.
He brought me forth into a large place;
He delivered me because
HE DELIGHTED IN ME."

I often refer to this verse, but have never committed it to memory.

Switching subjects again ....

This is my 400th post! Can you believe that? Who would've thought? Not me, I can assure you. Honestly, I never thought I would make it past the first post when I wrote about my then, 4 year old E (who is now 7!!). And, now I will give you 400 facts about myself ....

Ha! Just kidding. Wouldn't that be boring? If you are having trouble sleeping, you can check out my 100th post. It's riveting, I tell you and without a doubt, more than you ever wanted to know about me.

Thanks for sticking around for 400!

Don't ya just LOVE a snow day! I am just like a kid - I keep looking out the window to see if it is still snowing and get sad when it stops! When I was a child my father always reminded us that when it snows - of when we asked Jesus into our hearts HE made us white as snow! So I am reminded of that EVERY time we see snow! I needed that reminder today. As like you, I had a rough, tiring week. I needed a SNOW day too!
God Bless and enjoy your snow day!

I always enjoy my visits with you.I am looking forward to warm sunny days too. I agree God does have to sometime slow us down by giving lots of snow or 5 inches of rain like we have had this week-end, but I have enjoyed my slow down time.
I too am thankful for Gods Word that is a constant teacher to me. Thank you for sharing these thoughts!!
Blessings,
Sue

Hi Deidre,
This is the "anonymous" that is praying for you. Know that is it not me - it is the Lord that gave you what you needed. It was very random the way that post happened. So I know it is of God. May your today be filled with the grace & mercy of Christ!!

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16

That is just the prettiest picture of that bird with the snowman! BEAUTIFUL!

And I am so jealous that you all got snow and we didn't......email me and let me know how much you got. My hubs wants to know how much you all got in that area....

The CT people are laughing at you for being excited about snow, too. :) Its not such a novel thing in March after 3 solid months of it...enough already!

What a great scripture! I actually saw your post of Beth's blog. No way I can make it through them all, but I like to read what God is showing others.
