Winter Wonderland

I felt like a little kid yesterday. Nothing excites me more than the prospect of snow. As the hours dragged on and the snow came closer and closer, I got more and more impatient. When it came, I almost cried I was so happy (almost screamed from excitement too)! I was just like a little kid on Christmas.

To me, there is nothing more absolutely breath-taking than watching snow fall. It's so quiet and peaceful. It's like a hush just falls over the city while the flakes turn the landscape into white dust. I sat by my window watching the snow fall for 2 hours. It was like watching a movie scene the way the snow was falling. It was an absolute dream come true for me.

Isn't our God amazing? Watching the snow fall in Middle GA made me realize once again how big my God is. People know we rarely get snow down here. And to get the inch that we did is a miracle. I'm sure most of us have heard that no two snowflakes are just alike. But have you ever really stopped and thought about that? Imagine how many snowflakes fell last night. Probably trillions! And yet none of them are the same. How incredible is that! I cannot fathom designing trillions snowflakes. I cannot even imagine designing all the stars, galaxies, and people that exist! God is so awesome! It reminds me of the song "Indescribable" by Chris Tomlin. I have loved that song for years. I normally equate it with outer space, but honestly it could go for snowflakes too.

"The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
    The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
    night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
    their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
    and their words to all the world."
(Psalm 19:1-4 NLT)

Listen to me, O family of Jacob,
    Israel my chosen one!
I alone am God,
    the First and the Last.
It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth,
    my right hand that spread out the heavens above.
When I call out the stars,
    they all appear in order.”
(Isaiah 48:12-13)

“Who is like you among the gods, O Lord—
    glorious in holiness,
awesome in splendor,
    performing great wonders?"
(Exodus 15:11)

"O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
    Your glory is higher than the heavens.
When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
    the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
    human beings that you should care for them?"
(Psalm 8:1,3,4)

I praise my Maker for showing me His majesty once again! How anyone could look at the world and believe evolution, I'll never understand! Creation screams out God's name. Thank You, Lord, for this winter wonderland!
