You may think....

You may think the snow last night here in Spring Hill was really cool and fun (which is was!), but did you know God sent it to US? The Campbells? Let me explain...

The past few days at our house have not been fun. There have been certain children and adults who have been behaving very badly (no names to protect the guilty). Friday morning I ended up taking the girls to school in the pouring down freezing cold rain, which was another whole problem. So while we were driving I was trying to calm myself and the girls down and just started talking to God about everything (out loud) and how we were very sorry for the way we had been acting and that we needed to be reminded that when we saw this yucky cold rain we should think of it instead of just His peace just pouring down on us. The day continued to go not so well for about another hour, then things perked here at home. I think they went better at school too.

After school I was taking the kids back to school for a little fundraiser/Christmas shopping trip and when we got out at about 4:30 it was SNOWING!! Not just spitting, but downright big, huge flakes that quickly stuck to everything and by the time we got home around 5:30 (after a stop at Pizza Hut!) we probably had about an 1" or more. It was amazing! The kids were just wild with excitement and played outside some, then came in and got hot showers and had yummy pizza. There was peace in the world again.

We got the call after they went to bed that there would be no school, so when Roger and I went to bed I informed him NO ONE was setting an alarm clock! He had already planned to be off today. It was so wonderful to be snuggled down in our warm beds with no pressure about anything. Everything from the past week of behavior, homework, tattletelling, present buying, lack of a washing machine, time pressures just faded away. This doesn't happen often around here.

This morning as I was lazily waking up, the LORD said to me, "snow...in the Bible...this is for you..." So I looked up all the verses on snow and the one is Psalms just really jumped out at me. "Cleanse me and I will be whiter than snow." Ps. 51:7 The LORD just said to me...."The Campbell family has been cleansed of their sins from this past week and are now whiter than snow."

I have a confession....

I didn't want this to happen. I tried to avoid it. But it happened nonetheles. I am addicted to Facebook. (low hanging head, heavy sigh) When I first got on all those months ago it just looked like a way to lurk at your old friends and see what is going on. But now, oh now, I go searching all over trying to find more people and more people I might know to add to my every growing friend list. Granted, sometimes it is fun to go and see what faraway cousins are doing, or my brother and nieces are doing, or find groups to join, but before I know it I have spent an hour or two delving into all these peoples lives when my own housework is falling apart. As my friend Ashley said, "I don't really care what my neighbor is doing tonight..." So, I have made a commitment that I hope will last, at least through the holidays. From now it will simply be Facebook Friday. As in, no looking at Facebook on any day but Friday. No peeking, no casual lurking, no nothing. So, if any of you are on Facebook and see me posting on any day but Friday, you have every right to fuss at me, either my phone, e-mail, or in person.

By the way, (heehee!) if any of you are on Facebook and are not in my Friend List, please let me know so I can add you! But only on a Friday!
