Standing Still in the Snow

Well, dear friends, no snow ball fights today, no building a snow man, but certainly a need to bundle up and be safe as the temps have dropped to single digits and whatever moisture fell has turned to ice so please be safe with any and all outdoor activities this weekend since no temp increases expected for couple days now.

Even tho it can be a little treacherous around here, I was looking forward to some snow, not the ice, just the snow, but that's the way most of us are. We want the better of things, but realizing that our Father has a plan in all He does reminds me of a song by The Isaacs "Stand Still" that my daughter sings that has touched many lives including mine and it goes:

"The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now, You feel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt, When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro, When you're faced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go; Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do, When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you, Stand still and let God move.

When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in. When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been; Friend there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out, You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now; Stand still and let God move, Standing still is hard to do, When you feel you have reached the end, He'll make a way for you, Stand still and let God move; The answer will come, But only in His time; Stand still and let God move, Stand still and let God move."

Knowing when to stand still when there's no snow and when things are not going as we expect; is one the hardest things to do and yet the only Sure thing to do if we truly want God to lead and direct our pathway. So even tho things may not be as we feel it should be today, learning to trust God's perfect plan and His perfect timing for our life will lead to pure happiness along the way.

So go ahead and pour your self a cup of hot coffee or hot cocoa, wrap up snuggly in that warm blanket, and smile as you relax in Him today, Feel His warmth saturating your inner man and Smile, God loves you and so do I~~~
