Snow

As it snows outside I am having flash backs to this time last year when I was over seas and it snowed. What a beautiful day. The whole city covered in a blanket of snow.

It's so beautiful, so pure.

Today at church we had a longer time of worship through music, which I always enjoy. Then we had a surprise. One of the couples from our church renewed their wedding vows. He has been in the military away for a while and is now back in the states. I'm not sure of the whole story but they were never married in the church, and the wife had wished she did. So her husband surprised her today and they renewed their wedding vows in front of the whole church. There was even wedding cake after the service. It was wonderful.

This of course got me thinking of marriage. I am looking forward to one day being married if this is what the Lord wills. I'm excited to be a wife and to learn how to love my husband and serve him and support him. I'm excited that I get to be an example for the world to see about Jesus' love for His Bride, in that also recognizing I won't be a perfect example. But what about now? What can I learn from today as a single woman?

According to scripture, Jesus is my Bridegroom and I am apart of His Bride. He is coming back some day to get us. This excites me. He is a jealous Bridegroom. He wants all of me. He wants me to be a pure and spotless Bride. He wants me to be ready when He returns. What a beautiful picture.

I have heard of people say that when they are with the one they love it has spurred them on to be a better person. I understand what they mean when I look into His eyes, one glance in His eyes makes me want to be pure. When I read in scripture and search His Word and learn more about Him, the more I fall in love with Him. He is so good and so faithful. He is pure and majestic, holy and righteous, honest and just and merciful.

I want to be right where He is.
