March Snow
Last night I crashed hard and couldn’t keep my eyes open at my computer while trying to post a photo for my 365. I had to take a break. Raising puppies and dealing with grief will strip the life right out of a person.
In years past I would have quit my project altogether in that singular moment. After rethinking the purpose of this project (to stay present and grateful in a season of intense grief) I have decided to stay in it.
So, today I am posting extra images and counting this as two days worth. We all do what we need to do to keep going. I have discovered that very few things (if any) in my life benefit from an “all or nothing” mentality. I do so much better when I just keep taking small steps in the direction I feel God is calling me.
The enemy of my soul is loud and unrelenting in his accusations, but in the end that is all he can do — accuse. He cannot tell me who I am or what I am supposed to do. And so today I get back up and take a few more steps into being present and grateful. God will tell me who I am and what I should do. I am beginning again with worship. Worship always leads me home.
Today I am grateful for the beautiful March snow we got today. Although it was only here for a short while, it was magical. I felt immediately uplifted but its beauty. God is so good.
Thank you Lord for new beginnings.

Thank you so much for this much needed word of encouragement. Your words fit perfectly. I pretended I was in the midst of the magical snow myself. Take that show of snow personally.
Thanks again for keepin on.

Pictures of falling snow are so very peaceful to me! I tend to take a quick breath of wonder when I see one of these pictures. Your post today bought the same reaction. 🙂 Thank you for posting.
Thank you also for your honesty. I, too, am a reforming “all or nothing” person. Doing only a smidgeon of something is hard for me, but I get it. Thank you for staying in. Even baby steps are appreciated by all of us.
Praying for you. Hugs.

I’m glad you’re still walking onward, there is still so much of God’s beauty for you to see and live through and i certainly enjoy the small portraits of life that you see with the rest of us 🙂
Mary, Who knows how long a day is in God’s view? Thank you for not stopping and these images were so worth waiting for!
