Contradiction: Dawn at Dusk

reNEWal

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Isaiah 43:18-20

I love that no matter how harsh the winter, each year new life springs up and reminds us of God's gift of spiritual restoration and renovation. I am so thankful for that, and God's evident work that I have witnessed/been a part of this academic year.

Ice Storm

"As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands."

Isaiah 55:10-12

Dawn in the snow

Yes, this was a crazy idea, yes, she was cold, and yes, it was worth it.
