Snowpocalypse, Snomageddon, Snoverkill, Sno Mas?

If you've caught any bit of news within the past WEEK, I'm certain you've heard that we're being pounded with all sorts of snow.

Our first storm hit on Saturday, January 30... (I actually think we had a little on the ground before that).

Our second storm came on...Tuesday night (February 2nd) into Wednesday morning early.

Our third storm made it's way here on Friday, February 5th right around noon.

And yet our 4th snow is still visiting and making his name known.  We're in "Blizzard Conditions."

Constantly, however...throughout this entire series of storm..all I seem to be reminded of is the Lord and how He washes my our sins - white as snow.  To look outside and see everything with two feet of snow covering EVERYTHING...

smooth. pure. beautiful. as if there is nothing under there that is full of bumps and problems.  Our sheets are as white as snow. All of the stain from those past sins have now been completely washed away by the blood of Jesus.  I'm so thankful He's been reminding me of His grace in this storm.

Isaiah 1:18 -  

"Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool."

There is a lot of me that would really like to be bitter at all of the snow, to be frustrated.

I mean, I'm quite positive I'm caught up on all the snow I missed out on, growing up in Texas.

We've taken a few walks outside and it's pretty incredible.  I read on the news that the amount of snow that has fallen in the DC Metro Area could fill The Empire State Bldg 30,000 times.  That's a lot of snow!

So this is day 6 in the house.  We've been out a couple of times to eat lunch and to see how the other places near us look.  Thankfully we live on a semi-important road and we get plowed pretty often (although they always dump the plowed snow in our driveway!)  This time with Rob & Sharla has been good, and it will be treasured.  We've played games, watched movies and laughed and sighed.  It's been good.  3 months from now, I won't have that.

So regardless of how many times we shovel the driveway, or the roof for that matter (it is flat), and how many times the road crews plow all the snow in our driveway - He's reminding me of His love, and His grace... something that has been greatly appreciated here recently.

But... I do have Cabin Fever.

Here are some pictures are two videos.. go to my photo blog for pictures!









I certainly miss the "Texas" form of snow that melts overnight, or even the next day!
