The Joys of Winter

Oh the joys of winter!

It's absolutely freezing outside and everything is covered in snow.

There are a ton of special weather statements going on and on about the snow we are *supposed* to get. However, very rarely are these statements/warnings right. We live near Lake Ontario so we hear lots of warnings about "lake effect snow." Usually those snow bands miss us...usually...but not today.

 I'm not complaining...I'm really not! I'm snug at home on the couch all nice and warm. My husband, though, is at work and won't be leaving said place until midnight or a little after. I'm usually in bed at this time, but because the hubs is going to be driving in this delightful snowy mess late at night, with freezing temperatures I am staying up until I see his wonderful face. I can't wait for him to get home! I know God is in control and can bring Bryan home safely. I know this and I believe it. I'm struggling with my need for control...and in this situation my need for control of the car. (Because for some reason in my brain me driving in horrible conditions is the *only* way Bryan will get home safe.) How arrogant am I?? I'm so thankful that I am forgiven and covered by God's grace!

Isaiah 1:18
“Come now, let us settle the matter,” says the LORD. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.
