*525 - winter wonderland

I'm sitting here in my cozy room, watching gusts of wind carry thick swirls of snow past my window. The trees, the bushes, the lamps, the buildings - the everything and the everyone - are all dressed in white fluff and laced with white icicles. Praise God for such amazing, amazing beauty! I must have squealed for 10 minutes without stopping last night when we were driving through the campus; it's never looked more like a winter wonderland than it does right now.

My favourite moment is when the sun manages to peak out from behind the greyness - bits of snow catch the rays and glint like little buried jewels, and I just get so awestruck by the pretty sparkly whiteness around me.

And today's proof again that God makes everything work out in the end (: Like Joseph was saying, Phil 4:6-7! I was stressed to nearly-tears yesterday, but it's all okay now. God sends little things in my life to keep me smiling. Nurturing pretty paperwhites to life on my windowsill. Bringing a pot of pretty tulips to Jenny which made her happy which made me happy. Taking comfort in knowing that someone's looking out for me in a really sweet big sibling - little sibling way (: Discovering between classes that one of my dance practices today has been cancelled. Getting excited about travel plans and the possibility of meeting the sis in HK over summer. Meaning to walk back right after morning classes but instead bumping into and feeling loved by a handful of friends, one after another, who wanted company. Reaching dorm-sweet-dorm and discovering that my next class has been cancelled because of the snow storm. So all I have left for the rest of today is a dance class, a dinner date with dear Katie, and a lot of time (hopefully) to write a paper, an essay, an essay draft, a project proposal, to study for tomorrow's prelim, and to make a million earrings for my sweet, forgiving E&E customers.

And now for a quick nap.

I'm in such a pleasant mood. Thank You God.

Bliss. (:
