Why Snowflakes???

Mostly because I'll be seeing a bunch of them this Christmas. Obviously I won't be in the South, since I've only seen snow at Christmas twice in my 36 years. So where am I going to see snow...I'm going to Indiana, Indianapolis to be exact. I'm actually really excited about being away for the holidays. I've never been anywhere but my parents' house for the holidays. I think that I just need to do something different this year, with it being the first Christmas without my Dad, that in itself is going to be hard enough so to do something totally different will be a nice diversion. The opportunity presented itself in the form of J's latest Army mission, so I was more than glad to say I'd go up there to be with him. God definately had his hand in this and I'm definately not going to question his decisions in my life. I just thank him for this guidance. I am also looking forward to really embrassing the season for what it is, Jesus's birth. All the presents and commercial things this time of the year get on my nerves. So I am truly grateful for this getaway and time away so that I can think/reflect on the reason of the season. Well until next time, pray that I can find some real winter clothes so that I don't freeze in those snowflakes.
