Snow, Glorious Snow!

'Snow's gone!' one of my colleagues stated to me at around 12.40pm this afternoon. We had just had our first snow of the Festive season, didn't go on for long and looked to have stopped. Funny how things can change so quickly in life. 3 hours later I was on my way home as the snow built up around us. Some very dodgy moments were experienced going down Graigwen Hill!

Anyhow, I had two great realisations on the way home.

Firstly, what comfort it is to trust in God. On Graigwen Hill there were points where I seemed helpless to stop my car sliding down the hill into the wall. I am sure many people would have panicked and feared in such a situation and once upon a time that would have been me. Before I left, I prayed for my safety driving and for others safety too and those scary moments came, I stuck to my faith in God and believed that I would get out of this okay. Needless to say, Me & Car are safe at home writing this now!

Secondly, God always provides. Last weekend I went to a youth conference with my friend Alun, it was truly amazing but it was very tiring after a tiring week of work and I kind went straight from that into another tough week of work so I am READY for a rest now! This didn't look likely with a busy-ish weekend ahead but the snow has meant some of my things have been called off. Whilst I miss those things, I look to God in thankfulness for this rest as it was truly needed!

I did take some pictures of me and my car in snow on my phone, but I cannot find the connector to get them to the laptop so you'll have to make do with another picture for now. I promise to put the pictures on here when I can!


This is me and one of my bestest friends Caitlin. She has had a tough week being in charge of her family's thanksgiving this week so I hope this picture makes her smile!! :D

Plus, she gave me a lovely write-up on her blog and I have to pay her back somehow!

  3. Okay so I pulled open Blogger and your post was at the top of my Reading List and I saw our picture and then read the title, "Snow, Glorious Snow" so before I read it I was trying to figure out how the two related (seeing as I live in the state which doesn't believe in snow haha) and then I read the post and every thing made much more sense haha!

    But I love your insights about how God is always faithful so we can trust Him and He is our provider :) Such an encouraging read!

    And thank you so much for posting that picture!! I love it so much :D Definitely made me smile :D (And you don't have to pay me back haha but I appreciate it :D)
