Winter, *sigh*... the winter's here are always so long. When I was a kid, I hated winter... I mean, I liked the usual Christmas-time and my birthday... but I mean, getting all bundled up, just to go out in the freezing cold... who would CHOOSE to live in a place like that??
As I get older, I am starting to enjoy winter... not the cold part, I don't think I'll EVER get adjusted to that, but the cozyness of coming in from the cold, the thrill of shopping for others for Christmas, the baking, the getting together with family, the joy of the holidays, and everything in between....
I find it interesting how the season of "winter" is often associated with a season of "death" or "no growth" in our walk... I feel that way... like I'm not moving forward, no matter what I do, I always feel 10 steps behind, and the harder I try to run to catch up, the more I slip on the "ice" around me and I fall down...
But as frustrating as I find this season, it is also beautiful. In this cold and dreary season, God gave us His Son. How amazing! Out of cold He brought a warm and cozy baby.... out of the "death" of the season He brought new life... out of this season of "no growth" He brought a baby - which if you are not aware they grow VERY fast (which is why they eat so much, or often!)
So now, looking back on my earlier comments of my personal life, I am excited.... I wonder what He will do with my life in this "cold" season...
I pray that God will continue to bless you all in whatever season you are in!
Keep warm this winter season...
