The snow has fallen. The world transformed. The dirt and brown covered. A hush hovers. Expectancy. The quiet after a snowfall, A gift. I barely dare to take a breath. The wonderland; so beautiful. I close my eyes. I rest in this moment. I pause in the presence of a holy God. In awe of His creation. Such beauty. Each day I wrestle with what life should look like. What is my role?
