Creating space for your soul to breathe so you can discern your next right thing.

transitions

Winter descended overnight and is still shedding her evidence all over town. As we prepare to witness the peaceful exchange of power in our country, the snow is a reminder of a greater truth. There is One who longs to bless, to blanket our days with peace and promises.
Even in the midst of war and conflict and opposing sides, there is hope. And between the snow and the Inauguration, I have 2 perfect excuses to avoid any productive activity and watch TV in my pjs.

    hmmm – never thought of using the inauguration as an excuse to be non-productive. Now you’ve got me thinking…

    Thats what I did! Got up early to help my husband get off to work and then traded a shower and housework for the couch, big blanket and TV.

    I am still in my pj’s…and have gotten nothing done….and we didn’t even get enough snow to cover our grass (just a few minutes from you..how’s that), but it’s still a great excuse. 🙂 Thank you and I am using it.

    Sounds like we both love our pjs. By the way I love the picture of the berries and snow. It is beautiful. I love snow! It makes me cozy!

    So, while the Lord is pouring out his snowy white evidence in NC, he’s shining his sunny clear evidence here in AZ… Beautiful post. Perspective is key to keeping life in balance. Amen sista Amen!

    Except for 30 minutes of prep for 15 minutes of playing in the snow, it was a pj-clad, anti-productive day here as well.

    Hi,
    Came across your blog from my friend Betsy’s. It’s been a great day to just rest and relax! Stayed in my pj’s all day, graded papers and watched the inauguration. Love the pictures!

    Hi Megan! Got the boots at Goodwill 🙂 Used shoes are not my favorite. But I was desperate for some boots.

    “the peaceful exchange of power in our country”….I love that expression of our democracy. Well said. So many countries aren’t blessed to experience that.
