It's Here

I knew it would show up before long.  I have a love/hate relationship with winter.

I love the snow, hot drinks, cozy nights in, etc.

I hate the frigid temps, driving in the snow, and getting out when it's gross outside.

So here's to getting up at 4:30 am (b/c you know I'll have to leave early), 

and driving to Children's going 2 miles/hr

But there is much to be grateful for.

A good job, a trusty '04 Camry, warm clothes and shoes.

And when I think about it, I have to admit

Quiet, soft-falling snow is pretty dang beautiful.

PS - There are still a few days left to give to our give1save1 week over at

give1save1africa

We are so honored and thankful for all of the support we've been shown so far this week

Please continue to share our story this week, and if you've donated,

go over to this post to win an awesome necklace Steph is giving away on the give1save1africa blog!

(I also have so much to process that I really want to share about my time last weekend at Created for Care.  I cannot say enough good things about it.  Excited about the things I learned and some encouraging things the Lord spoke to me.  Look for a post coming soon!)
