SNOW, SNOW, SNOW

People who live up here in the North just for the fun of it are ABSOLUTELY insane! You people are insane! I realize I just called about 90% of my family crazy . . . hahahaha! I also now understand the reason my Grammy and Grampy came down South for the winter time.

Over the last 4 days we have had 24 inches of snow; and are expected to get 6-10 more inches the next 24 hours. Oh, how I have never missed the Dirty South so much before! Where I think all this snow is a natural disaster, this is a way of life for these crazies up here. I found myself on my porch the other morning with a snow shovel in hand staring a good 10 minutes at everything. I thought to myself, "I need to help," and then realized "where the heck would I put any of it." It's EVERYWHERE! Needless to say, I was a little overwhelmed, went back inside, and took a nap :)

All this being said, God is still good! He is still the King of the city and the King of this world. This is kind of random to this post, but I was so encouraged by our youth group on Thursday. When I look around our YG I see kids of different races, kids of different ages, kids from broken families, and kids just wanting to be kids. We started off our time together with a little Cha Cha Slide! We got crazy, we acted a fool! Then we entered a time of worship. It's funny with our kids; if you walk into our youth group at one point during the night, one might think there is nothing getting accomplished, but chaos. If you walk into our youth group during another point in the night, one could tell how desperate these kids are in yearning to be loved by the Lord, in addition to wanting to be taught about Jesus. There is such spiritual growth happening. It is amazing to be a part of. Praise Him. Our prayer for our youth group is that we create an atmosphere where each and every student will be encountered by the Living God. He is hearing our cries, and being faithful to His Name.

Love Deeply.
