Ahh, snow days.

Welcome to the days of cabin fever, hoodies and sweats, hot chocolate, shovels and snow past the windowsill. Yay.

Today I decided to relive my childhood of sledding, so Julia and I did our best to recruit Souderton kids who were also stuck at home. After fetching Mikayla and Austen, we sledded on the EMC hill. Very very fun. :D I forgot how thrilling it was to sled. Now if I wore actual snow attire, I would have been all right, because I was soaked to the skin after a few hours, thus ending my fun. :P

Snow days like these can really do a lot to people. It forces you to be with the people around you. You cannot run off to a friend's house or a movie or a coffee shop, etc. You're STUCK. And I hope that you all had some time with your family today, at SOME point. While some family members of mine are rather anti-social with anyone, I got to talk with my parents for a while. That would never happen if we didn't have these days off. They also really show God's power. A mere snow storm of His can cause the entire east coast to go ballistic. EVERYONE'S plans got altered in some way due to the snow. It puts us all on some sort of hold until the roads are all right. It's crazy, isn't it? And of course, it's insanely beautiful. Snow, as much as I hate that it destroys plans, is so pretty. It's pure, white, sets a glow to the world at night. Of all of the colors in the entire world, God chose white. And it couldn't be any more perfect!

Jesus paid it all
And all to Him I owe
Sin has left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words
