Let the snow fall...

As I sit here at my kitchen table, occasionally glancing up at the window pane, the snow is falling in all of its splendor....Without a care in the world it piles on top of each other as if there is a plan in there little minds to go sledding later. When the darkness has descended and the frosty caps glisten in the moonlight, all I'm thinking about is how I'm going to layer myself til I can't breathe, put on my strong shoes and trusty gloves and go shovel that white stuff that seems to just keep falling.

     My point being, that if something is going to happen it's going to happen. No wishing, no hoping, just a plain fact of realization that once again "God is in charge". Rain will fall, snow will blow and the summer heat will blaze.

     I've been trying to incorporate daily, the prayer (while closing my eyes) "Jesus,I surrender myself to you, take care of everything." I really should do it more or at least set a timer at certain hours to remind myself to pray those words.

     Dilemmas will arise out of the blue and we need to know if we're going to jump out of the boat. Grace will arrive though, and the sooner the better. I'm an active person who loves to stay busy. My "go to" has been cooking and baking, resulting in a few extra lbs. that I don't need. So then I turn to cleaning. Cleaning out the closets, dusting, vacuuming and anything that will keep me busy. I honestly don't know which is worse. Fanatically busy or slothfully lazy. Life has so many fine lines and only the shield of surrender and child like confidence will get us the grace we need to survive till God calls us to his side to stand before HIM.

     My good friend told me that every time we gasp at anything, it's hard on our whole body. I believe it. It's a sudden move that upsets the normal Rhythm of our bodies. Letting God tell us the next move or just relaxing in His Almighty Powerful arms is where it's at. Letting go and letting God. Sounds easy enough, but so hard to do.

     Prayer helps me achieve the Peace I long for on days like these. Sometimes I really do have to laugh out loud when I catch myself with that look of worry or dismay on my face. Saying to myself, "let it go!".

     So rain, sun, sleet or cold.... "Let the snow fall".
