SNOW DAY!!!!
In TENNESSEE we LOVE a "snow day!" The announcement for "no school" arrived last night after the high school basketball game and the party INSTANTLY started. I LOVE the season of life that we are in with Grace (our 13 almost 14 year old). She has entered the "teenager phase" where all her friends hang out together all of the time. They spend a lot of time at our house and I LOVE it! They are so much fun! (messy, but fun) They take me back in time and I thoroughly enjoyed those years of my life. Mike and I stayed up until 12am talking on the couch, AS IF our little ones were not going to be up at their normal times?!?!? Joshua decided to get up 2 hours early (5am) and I instantly thought "what was I thinking? 12am, really?!" Two cups of coffee later, we cranked up the chocolate chip pancakes. After several rounds of pancakes and bacon (can someone say H-E-A-L-T-H-Y?!?) the nurse from the health department pulled up. I heard my kids out the front door trying to read her front license plate....sounding out each word....SSS-uuu-cckkk-iiiinnn.....(my ears perked up) until Michael obliged them and shouted "Suckin Gas and Haulin A**"!! By the time they were all repeating it, she made it to the front door. We would have that "talk" in a few minutes! I asked myself once again....Really?!? I couldn't help giggle under my breath....LOVE MY LIFE!
So it was sweet little Josie Love's birthday this week and I decided that she needed a car so that when spring arrives she can follow her brothers around outside in their vehicles. She hasn't quite mastered driving it yet...I thought I'd share a video of her first few lessons where Michael was trying to educate her.
I couldn't help but relate her driving to life. Don't we just wake up each morning and it is "pedal to the metal!" We go NONSTOP, forward, backwards, forward, backwards throughout our entire day. When I got up this morning I had the time to read Jesus Calling and have a few quiet moments with Joshua and my sweet Saviour. The peace that I have had all morning sure does surpass the crazy driving that typically takes place each morning. My heart longs for more "Snow Days". Sometimes, we need these little reminders to be still and feel HIS presence. Thank you Lord for these little glimpses of YOUR glory IF we'll just take the time to desire a relationship with YOU.
