That's right folks, my ground is covered in snow. I went to bed last night (kinda late) to a windy but dry campus. Was awakened at about 3 am by a series of soft booms against the side of my building. It was the wind so I went back to sleep. I woke up this morning to a blanket of snow. We have a good 3 inches on everything. It's really beautiful but the walk in was slippery today. The junior high students had a field trip planned today, but it was cancelled. Recess is taking place in the gym today. The snow just altered lots of things!
I need your help today in prayer. One of our students is having a rough time. She tried to run away from her dorm yesterday and has been threatening to hurt herself if she is not allowed her own way. She comes from a background of abuse and mostly indifference and neglect and is really struggling to adapt. Please pray that she will feel God's love and accept His peace. She is such a sad little girl, just talking to her breaks my heart.
I'm so at peace here. I truly know that I am where God wants me. I enjoy my work but I also feel fulfilled and relaxed almost all the time. My mom lives 1 1/2 hours away so I get to see her regularly but I also have a lot of people to visit with here so I'm never lonely. God is so good in His plans for us. I certainly never imagined this as my path, but now I love it.
As Always,

I'm so glad you two are having some fun.
8 INCHES
Riding to work on a snow plow sounds like fun. I never had that opportunity. I got to slip slide along.
I am soooooo happy that you are happy. The snow sounds like fun.....for you. You know I am a tropical orchid which is one of the many reasons I love Alabama so much. I am sure glad it did not snow when I was in Arizona last January. I do love to see pictures of it though. And I enjoy it from the window. It means alot to be peaceful, just knowing that you are where God wants you to be. So, your Mom rode to work on a snowplow....what will I hear about next from you two?
