greener grass
I love the snow...to me it is the prettiest form of weather. Watching it fall makes me feel like I am in a snow globe. The whole world seems to pause in silence. Everything looks different and seems to glow. I was looking forward to moving to jersey land because I wanted a lot of real snow. Since thanksgiving i have eagerly waited for the first of what i hoped would be many snowfalls. Of course I missed one while in Tennessee during Christmas. However since returning at the first of January I have not been disappointed. The ground has been snow covered every day since. We have had too many to count 3 plus inches of snow storms this year. One even brought a fresh 12 inch layer of the beautiful stuff! I just love how pretty everything is the day after new snow covers everything....God truly showing off.
Unfortunately it is almost the middle February and the ground is still covered in about 3 or so inches of snow and we had had no new snow in about 2 weeks. It is starting to look a little bad...honestly the snow is disgusting. What is left has taken on a grayish hue and the big piles are just in the way. They are making parking and driving a pain in the butt. I am done with the snow for now ( i say this right before I head to Utah to ski but I digress:)
How often is my walk with Christ just like the snow? When is new, good and refreshing I am completely wrapped in all it has to offer me. I rejoice in who God is and I am amazed by what He has done and continues to do. But I can't seem to stay that enamored with Him. Why do i find my self almost weary or stagnant? I am just as bad as those people who long for winter and then complain when it arrives. I am already looking forward to spring and I know I will eagerly starting bidding my time til summer soon after spring arrives. Is it a lack of contentment? Why can't i appreciate every season God gives me? I know I won't always be on top of my love for Jesus but I want to always love Him and be excited every time I think about who God is....
