It is snowing!

I just had to update and let you all know we woke up this morning to snow. As i look out the window now wonderful snow is coming down. Even though I am not a huge fan of  cold and snow it is a amazing reminder of who is in control and that HE held off the snow until the building was all closed in.

 

God is good!

Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow!

It is unheard of that it is almost the middle of November and it has not snowed! First, we had a wonderful Halloween with no snow, very weird and usual for us, and now it is November and, you guessed it no snow. I am no weather person and am not sure about weather patterns but… I can  bet you it will snow sometime soon. How do I know you ask?  Well let me tell you…

My husband is  a pastor of a church in Colorado Springs and we are building a new building.  The whole project has been, well, a nightmare.  Getting permits,  city approval, and all the sub contractors ready has been a really difficult and tedious process. The project is finally on tract and going well and we have been praying that the workers would get it all closed in before the weather hits.  Recently the weather has changed, the skies have been cloudy and the threat of snow has been real, but it hasn’t snowed, and today the last of the siding went up. I for one would LOVE it if it snowed tomorrow! It would be GOD just showing off – just showing us all how in charge HE is!

Even if it doesn’t snow tomorrow, I still believe that God in HIS graciousness to us has held off the weather so the building could get closed in with no problems! So now, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Heres to knowing who controls the weather!

What I didn’t know!

On a very snowy day 15 years ago in a very small country chapel I said “I do.” There was so much I didin’t know about marriage and the life I had ahead of me.  I didn’t know I would have four kids, I didn’t know that marriage is work and you have to fight for it. I didn’t know how we (Graham and I) would change into the people we are today. I didn’t know I would become a pastors wife – that wasn’t part of the orginal deal.(haha)

 I also didn’t know, he would still make me laugh after 15 years, that I would still miss him when he was gone and that he would still be the one I want to talk to after something big happens.  We have been through some really hard times, like any marriage, but today we are stronger for those times. I am glad I didn’t know all that marriage would entail – it has been quite a ride and I can’t wait to see what the next 15 years have in store for us. 

Here is to marrying the man of your dreams and realizing 15 year later he still is the one!
