Well, in my life lately I haven't found anything out of the ordinary worth blogging about. So I'll just blog about my normal life. It's been cold lately, and it's snowing right now. I'm sitting at the kitchen table, looking out the back door, and it's beautiful.
The sun is still up, shining through the dark grey clouds, as much as it can, as they fly by. The ground is mostly covered with snow, some places thick, some thin, with trees, bushes, and brown tufts of grass poking through all over the place. The light snowflakes that are falling take quite a while to get to the ground as they must swirl around in the air, fleeting now over here, now there, up and down, and then sideways. They will eventually meet the ground.
And yes, it's chaotic, harsh even. But it's beautiful.
You know, the other day I was walking back from a neighbor's house across our property at I noticed that inside some tufts of grass there is still some green! Hope and life live on, even in the middle of despair and death and fear.
I want to grow up to be a women after God's own heart, but I want to be that now, not have to wait. This week my goal is to reach for joy, to pursue it until I catch it! To brighten the lives around me. I have to admit, the last couple of weekends I've been a little selfish. I want to give joy, not steal it from others.
So, that is for this week. Maybe next I will dive a little into my own heart and root out some pride or selfishness or greed or hate. No, that's to light an analogy. I will fight it out with a sword and bow-until all the monsters and hideous beasts flee from me. :) With Christ, I can do anything.
Until next time,
Jo
P.S. Live the Adventure!
