Well...what a morning! I had three dreams last night, all called for an impending snow day, and in all three cases it did not happen. Then I awoke at 5:30, to be ready for hubby, who was asked to prepare for at least a 3 day call out for power outages by having his bag packed on arrival to work this morning...and school was cancelled! We weathered wind chills of -15 degrees by having school a couple weeks ago, one of the few districts in this part of our state to do so, so last night I really didn't plan today would be any different.
But here's the thing. (that was improper grammar)
I actually saw another personal financial gain if this storm turned for the worst in this part of the country. It didn't settle well. Then this morning we saw that from Ohio to New Jersey there isn't anything so damaging and widespread that teams of workers from our area need to attend to. I just hung up the phone with dear hubby and admitted, "I was so stupid to want financial gain from the misfortune of others."
Thank God!
Thank God another fleshy, worrisome part of me fell away.

Both girls are sleeping still.
One of them needs, needs, lots of rest!
Fighting a nagging cold and managing a full schedule has taken it's toll.

Tapped into another Proverbs 31 blog...Renee Swoop...much needed revelation came from that. I have been asking God to show me a place, to share, to bless others, by testifying with a humble heart to others on how He has helped me along these past 14 years. This place may be walking distance from my house!

Speaking of walking....I estimated we walked 3 miles in snow, wind and wind chill factors near zero last Saturday. There was a local winter carnival and the local Geocachers had their version of the Amazing Race incorporated in the event. We didn't win and like many things of God, had we checked the batteries of our GPS we would have noticed that our signal was incorrect and saved my youngest and I a half mile walk through unentered National Forest land. "Oh Mom, you know your loving this", she piped back at whiny ole me. Of course when we didn't reconnect with the other two...they ventured up the toboggan hill and followed our footprints. We were four tired puppies by the end of our day. Wishing so much the digital camera hadn't died again.
**Saw sled dogs races.
***Walked across a small frozen lake. That was so surreal...like nomads...everyone was moving across after witnessing the triumphant plunges of 90 daring men, women and teens who bared it all for charity and ran into the icy waters!
****Didn't do the snow sculpture, but people asked ...I guess our second place finish last time was memorable.
*****Got snow tackled!!!! Giggled and laughed until I cried again. The smaller one, who even though she carries the adult weight of a full time teacher got me down. Then the bigger one, all 5'10 and still growing held me there. I wanted so much to say...let me up or I'll pee my pants but I knew there were other people in the woods.
Thankful we all still have the little kid in us still!!!!!
******And....ate a chocolate cricket to boot! Wasn't too bad, but part of the game. Don't think I would tackle a whole handful of them though.
Well....that's enough for now...can't do much, or make too much noise...so I decided to blog.
So blessed!!!!!!!
Amen
