As White As Snow

"Though your sins be as scarlet, soon they will be as white as snow." Isaiah 1:18

As White As Snow
Desk 7

One cold night as the snow was falling steadily, I was driving with my boyfriend.

I kept staring out the window memorized by the giant flakes kissing the cold ground. It was beautiful.

as I would say, "Wow, I love snow." My boyfriend, having heard me say this multiple times replied,

"Yeah, I know. You keep saying that." He wasn't being rude, he just wasn't seeing what I was seeing.

As I stared out the window I kept wondering what it was exactly that made me repeat the same verse over and over again. "I love snow."

It's not the part that makes me freeze when I step outside. The part where your eyes water because your nose hairs just froze.

It wasn't the part where I was wearing three layers and still shivering.

It wasn't the part where the roads are extremely dangerous, and not fun to drive on.

In fact, these are all the things I don't like about winter.

It's the part where snow is so clean, and so pure.

I always find joy in making new tracks when there's a fresh blanket of snow on the ground.

Maybe it's the child in me, or maybe it the Jesus inside me.

I think God had the same line as me when he created such a cold delicate art piece, "I love snow."

I could go off on how every snowflake is different but what I really see with this white fluffy stuff, is Jesus.

He took a crimson red, our sins, and made it as white as snow.

He made us pure.

He made a fresh blanket.

He made us as white as snow.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
