This morning I was marveling of what an incredible life we have the opportunity to live. The creator of the entire universe desire an intimate relationship with us. He desires and longs for us to be content in his grace and mercy. His love is unconditional and never ending. He is the only constant thing on this Earth that will never change. Two weekends ago when I was in Durango for the leadership weekend, I was in awe of the fact that Colorado still had so much snow! On the last night of our fun filled weekend, we went snowshoeing up a mountain to where we normally take the staff pictures every summer. It was so interesting to see the exact same setting, except one month earlier, covered in 5 feet of snow! Jessie and I were talking about how beautiful the snow is and she said something that has stuck with me. Snow is not needed, at all! If the Lord wanted to water the earth, He would make it rain. The Lord sends snow simply for beauty, so that we might stand in awe of his perfect creation. Even though that is such a simple thing to think about, in baffles me that God would give us the perfection of snow, just to make our world more beautiful and to remind us of His cleansing grace (Pslam 51:7) and beauty.
You are probably wondering why I am ranting about snow instead of talking about this incredible summer coming up. Once the snow melts, it surfaces a new kind of beauty, nature full of life, color and excitement. For the Lord is always good, and that will never change! This summer will be one full of life and excitement. We can not wait to see old friends, make new ones, and live in community together, sharing our hearts, and connecting with the life God has in store for us. We can't wait for you all to join us this summer and stand in awe of the creator whose love for us is eternal!
See you in only a few short weeks!!
