crystal sea

The crystalline sea of snowflakes that is spread over my yard is beautiful. It sparkled a lot more than you can see here... twinkling and gleaming like gems in the sunlight. It looked so smooth and pristine... so perfect. More beautiful than the best of diamonds, God gives us the snowflakes... In great numbers, individually different. Crafted by our Maker, even though He knows we will not likely appreciate the majority of them. But yet, He makes them anyway.



The piles of plowed snow, covered with a fresh layer of powdery crystals... reminds me of breakers at a beach... of the foamy white water pouring off of them and crashing back up against the rocks over and over.... reminds me of visiting the beach this past summer. Except we get this all winter. :)

peace.

You know, when I broke up with Eric, I thought I would be miserable for quite awhile... every time I saw something from him or relating to him.. I almost burst into tears. My mom advised me to pray for God to take care of my feelings... and that when he did, not to freak out about it, or think something was wrong because he did.
Well, I found myself thinking that way yesterday. Feeling... almost ashamed of myself because I wasn't unhappy anymore. I was... not really thinking about the whole mess at all... and felt guilty about it, because it hasn't been very long. And yet, it feels like an eternity.
I guess that I just have to be thankful to God for answering my prayers, and beginning to heal my heart.
I wonder what's coming next for me. ;)

"wait and see" God says. :) ... I'll try.
