Snowflakes and Prayer Paintings

This week has been great so far and is only going to get better...I can feel it in my bones. :)

I don't understand how it can be almost 50 degree weather yesterday and today be freezing and snowy.  Oh wait...yes I can...it's Iowa.

First snow of the semester. That actually collected on the ground.
Powdery dry snow.
When I was wiping the windows during my work study in Central Market I noticed a single flake stuck to the other side of the glass...right in the middle of the window.
I caught myself staring at it with my hand still paused in the air.
So beautiful.
Perfectly unmelted delicate geometry

Good grief...how my Lord romances me! :)

Mmm...simple beauty in mundane tasks.

Also, I enjoy hearing loud phone conversations about duck hunting behind me while I walk to class. lol


Dove chocolates peppermint bark
Steamed caramel apple cider
Role playing in Human Relations...hilarious (LEROY JENkins!!)
scarves
David's reaction to the lion I finished drawing for him
curling up under a warm blanket...with little to NO homework
AND...Sedona finally called me back. I have a job for Christmas break! Hallelujah...much needed travel money! I'm excited to see all those old ladies again at the factory.

"if you want to get it good girl, get yourself a...bad boy" ~yep, Backstreet boys...this was my "I feel like a rebel cause I like this song" song when I was in like fourth grade.

Speaking of the drawing I gave to David...I have this idea.
I want to make more of those prayer drawings/paintings in the future. I think that would be so awesome! I could even sell them. I could make an appointment with whomever and pray over them, jotting down notes of the images God gives me...and then create a prayer painting with verses and a prayer for them.
Man, I want to do this! With only a couple weeks left of school though...I don't know if it will become a reality....
Well, if anyone who actually reads this wants a prayer painting...let me know. I think I would charge $10 and the money would go to a good cause (probably Rapha House or something like that)

Lord, I want you to use my gifts to further your kingdom.

and this is just cute...a painting turtle (came up when I was searching Google images)

Also, we got the results from my Dad's MRI last night. He has a bulging disc in his back and will need physical therapy everyday for the next couple weeks. My Mom is now tending the chores on our hog farm all by herself whist he gets betters. Prayers for quick healing and a peace that passes understanding would be appreciated.
