Sin



Once there was a snowflake, a teeny tiny snowflake...and it fell from the sky onto the top of a hill, and then another fell and another and another, until they formed a ball. And that ball grew in size with each snowflake that fell. And then the ball became so big that it started to roll down the hill, but this wasn't just any hill it was a HUGE slippery hill. And as the snowflakes continued to fall onto this ball, the ball continued to grow in size. It raced down the hill growing bigger and bigger. And then one day it stopped right on top of a girl. And she was buried, lost under all of those teeny tiny snowflakes that together formed the biggest snow ball. She was trapped inside that snow ball and couldn't find her way out.

One day, the girl, she saw a hand reaching into the midst of that snow ball. The only hand that could pull her out of the intricate web of lies she found her self trapped inside of. She knew her Savior had come for her, had come to show her that she was worth saving, that she didn't have to trapped inside that snow ball, that she could walk in beauty and newness of life.That he had given his life that she might have hers with him in eternity With the love of her Savior holding her she stepped out of the snow ball and began life again, leaving all those little lies behind her, keeping her eyes fixed on her Savior and all he had done for her and the children he loved.

Jesus, Thank you that even though I stumble and fall into lies, that you send people who love me to help me remember I'm no longer stuck inside the snow ball. That I am found in YOU, that I'm made new and I can walk in your glorious light knowing how deeply loved and valuable I am. I love you Lord, help me to remember this when I lose sight of just how precious I am to YOU.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. Prov 3:6

I've been watching Friday Night Lights lately on netflix, and the football coach's daughter has started dating one of his football players and in a recent episode the coach finds out that his daughter and his player are thinking about having sex (they don't!! YAY for good decisions!!) however before he finds out if they have or not he freaks out. He's a very protective daddy. I like that. I was thinking about that scene while driving yesterday and it came to mind the "big news" I thought I'd be sharing soon. You see, I reunited with an old flame recently. Well, he was going to drive up for a visit. He left late Wednesday night and was to arrive very early Thursday morning. I asked him to text me that he arrived safely, but when I woke up Thursday morning there was no text message. That's when I realized I was pretty nervous...nervous, scared...not nervous, excited...ut oh red flag! So I prayed, "Father God I know I've been praying that the next man that comes into my life for a relationship be the man I'm going to marry. Father if its not in your will for this man and I be together, I pray that he not be here this morning." And then about an hour later, I got a text message from this man. He wasn't here. Something happened to where he had to turn around at the Kentucky/Illinois border. I thanked God then, for making my crooked path straight again. After all, He loves me, and is a protective Father. I like that!

Father, God, thank you for protecting your children from heart break, and thank you for also at other times allowing us to experience the heart break. I am in total awe of you and how you know your creations inside and out, and yet you look upon us and you see Christ's radiance. You are so good to me Lord, and I am astounded by your love and care to allow hardships but to also protect me from heart break. Thank you Father. Thank You!

"I'm finding everything I'll ever need, by giving up, GAINING EVERYTHING, falling for YOU for eternity, RIGHT HERE AT YOUR FEET IS WHERE I WANNA BE, I AM YOURS FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER..."
