With the recent snowfall, I've been reminded of a lot of things. The first thing I've been reminded of is how much I hate the snow. I know most people have a dislike for snow, but for me, nothing is the world is more obnoxious than snow...except for spiders and people who can't seem to be honest and straight forward with other people. The snow is cold, dangerous, and to be honest not that pretty. On a side note, I will go on a limb and say that ice covered trees are so freaking beautiful. (maybe one of the only things kind of cool about the cold?) But honestly, the thing I hate the most about the snow, is that every year it has potential to ruin so many lives. As the daughter of a dad who has to go plow this crap...I'm one of those potential people. Every inch has potential to wreck a lot of beautiful things. Homeless people are also on my heart in times like this. My hope is that Christians and kind-hearted people around every community effected by snow would do everything they can to help those in need of some heat. So far it's been really awesome reading posts of people helping others, as well as watching my neighbors step up to help each other shovel their drives. At risk of contradicting everything I've said above, I'm pretty happy that snow has potential to bring people together.
Another thing the snow has reminded me of, is how much I hate being bored. ...it's awesome. But seriously, being stuck inside (because my front door won't open, and even if it did there is still foot after foot of snow to get through to go anywhere...not worth it) has been so annoying. Most of you that know me, also know I'm not content sitting still for hours. Thanks to the snow, I've been spending a lot of time sitting still. So far, I can't say I'm to excited about it. My head hasn't stopped racing, and the anxiety levels are creepin. I simply don't know what to do with myself. The computer just isn't that fun, and watching random TV blows. The only good that has come out of me being forced to sit has been the amount of time I've been spending with God. Honestly, as much as I hate sitting, this time has been really good for me. I LOVE studying the bible, so having more time to do that has been awesome. I've been more aware of His presence in me the last day or so. SO freaking comforting. It's been helping me rely on God for substance in my life. So often when I get bored I sleep. But becoming aware of my boredom and giving it to God is totally fulfilling. I can hear him much more clearly in all the silence. Thank God for boredom. :)
