Zephaniah 3:17

The snow began to fall sometime yesterday and tonight we are to receive our first major artic blast of what the weather people like to refer as a potential disaster.  We are not to drive or leave our homes after dark...only if necessary...like you need eggs, break, or milk.  Otherwise Abby, Donner, and I are staying put.
It's been a busy week.  It's near the end of the semester and overwhelmed is not the right word.  Perhaps immobilized would be more appropriate.  On Sunday night I went to bed at 6am and got up at 7am...and still have pages to go before I sleep...
Dagnall, a senior this year, stopped me after lunch.  He asked how things were going and I told him...and he listened and reminded me of the words from Zephaniah 3:17 of how God is mighty to save.  As we talked, with the newly created snow encircling us, it was one of those moments when it was as if Jesus descended and listened and talked to you...face to face...one on one.  No agenda, no easy answers, no quick fixes.  Instead he had all the time in the world...to listen...and care.  It reminded me of just how much God needs us to be Jesus to other people...and how mighty he is to move our mountains...Jesus thank you for sending a rep my way and give me the power from you to actually believe that you are ever so mighty and willing to save...and Dagnall...thanks for being Jesus... to me...
