Friday evening the snow started falling,Not big flakes but small ones,The ones that no one thinks amount to much. But as many soon found out on Saturday morning those small consistent flakes mounted up to about a foot of snow. Sitting in my living room, with a cup of hot tea and a recent book suggested to me by a wonderful Princess, it occurred to me that those snowflakes weren't just merely snow, they were a symbol for me sent straight from the hands of God.
Like those small snowflakes, most people have thought for years that I cannot do much or change the world the way that you see these people doing on television. I believed them for many years, thinking that like they all said I had no power. I didn't have the strength.
But was that God speaking?
It most certainly was not for his word tells us clearly "Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity." (1 Timothy 4:12)
Like those snowflakes, my work may go unnoticed by the world, each step small, but with a sincere and huge heart. But my sweet Adonai does not count off my works as too small or not enough. He sees what I do, he gives me strength to complete what I and others thought i could not do, and he showers me with hope for more...
Lord, my heart sat in waiting, wanting you to come around. I sat and cried and lost myself in all that this world had to offer. I listened to the world when they told me I could not, instead of listening to the father that made my heart from the start. Now I see that he knows just what I need, he knows just when I need them. All the things in my life Lord, I am now turning back to you with praise! I'm setting you as a seal upon my heart. And taking your word throughout the world...
