Winter Hasn't Left

The snow has arrived in Spokane.  Everyone was wondering why we were having such a mild winter.  Appears that ‘winter’ was on hold until now J

I can’t say enough about our bus system – a Shout Out to the men and women drivers, maintenance, and office personnel of STA (Spokane Transit Authority).  The roads have been a bit nasty the last few days and these folks are doing their utmost to provide excellent service.

I’m not a fan of driving in the inclement weather; however, walking and enjoying the peaceful, quietness of being outside with falling snow is awesome.  It is relaxing and beautiful – a wonderful reminder that God is the Creator of all.

Snow

It is a winter wonderland here in the Inland Northwest.  I love the cleansing of the snow over the rough and dirty roads.  The whispery silence in the early morning with the snow gently falling.

Living in an area with four seasons is a blessing.  To be able to enjoy the variety of God’s creation is not taken for granted.  His mercy and grace abound.

Reboot

The snow is melting and life is waking up and beginning again.  This has been a winter of snow and ice. Illness has run rampant throughout the community.

I am so thankful for the Lord. He is merciful and gracious. He carries us through the rough times and celebrates the good times with us. He is everlasting!

Reboot with me this spring - praise the Lord tenfold ;)

Busy Here, Busy There

The Pacific Northwest has been light in the snow department and I must say that I am not complaining.  As long as we get snow in the mountains (to stave off drought), I am thrilled to have unencumbered roads to drive on!

My sister and grandmother flew to the islands for some rest and relaxation this week.  It looks like the weather is cooperating for them.

Tonight I am going to a fundraiser with my other sister; it is the romantic musical comedy ‘Crazy for You’ ~ should be a fun event.

The Lord is so faithful, even when we are not.  How thankful I am and sing praises for His mercy and grace.

Wow ~ we definitely received some snow over the last few days! I have gotten some great workouts (yes, I do count snow shoveling as a workout).


The snow creates some beautiful scenery. I love it when the trees are covered in white. The roads are a different beast. The hard packed snow turns to ice and is no fun for drivers.

The Inland Northwest slumbered Tuesday night to high winds which melted much of the snow which is good because we are heading into a frigid few days of low 20s for the daytime highs.

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 (NIV)

This is a verse from my devotions earlier this week and it struck me that anything I am struggling with can be considered a mountain. It was definitely eye-opening with regard to some things that I am struggling with -- thank you Lord for revealing this to me!
