Snow...

So as I mentioned before - I love snow. Yesterday I took this picture on campus (it's of our new football field)


And this morning I woke up to this (and yes - it was shoveled by my shoveling angel!!):

Here is the street - down and then up...


Do you see the little path up the sidewalk? (that's the shoveling angel up at the top of the hill!)

And this is what my house looks like now:

Isn't it beautiful??? Snow is amazing, and it always reminds me of this song:

White as snow, white as snow
Though my sins were as scarlet
Lord, I know, Lord, I know
That I'm clean and forgiven

Through the power of Your blood
Through the wonder of Your love
Through faith in You
I know that I can be
White as snow

God is so good - so faithful - always taking what is ugly and making it new - clean - white! I'm so thankful for all that God does in my life, He is constantly helping me, refining me, taking what I screw up and healing, changing, covering - with this white, beautiful, new thing!

I guess I haven't been bloggin lately because I've been busy - but that's the normal excuss. I've been kind of lame (as in sore leg.. ;) not dorky - though I am that kind of lame all the time! ) and busy with company and work. Also - for those that have been reading awhile I have a new prayer request, I got a call that I have been moved up on the list for adoption. So I'm very excited about that and blessed that it's is starting to move again...

Gotta run!

I love untouched snow....with no foot prints in it!

I think we got more snow than you did..... but it was still quite a dumping.

I don't think I know that song, I'll go look it up.

You're shoveling angel looks a little familiar :)

What number are you on the list now??

I love untouched snow too.. that or where there is one set of footprints.
