Snow Days


Do I like snow? Personally, I could do without it for many reasons: the mess, the cold, the shovelling, the accidents, and everything in between. There are some benefits to it though, like sliding, snow days, hockey, and the like for those who are able to tolerate the white atrocity!

Yesterday was a dissapointment for many of us. We were all set up to play, even with our uncertainties. Unfortunately, we had a late snow day, and all that practice we had was in vain.

Or was it?

When I got home, I thought a little more about it. Yes, it was dissapointing that we couldn't play at that time. Yes, it was dissapointing that we wasted 40 bucks renting a keyboard. But I think we have to look past that and see a bigger picture. We got to practice. A lot. and I don't know about you guys, but I think this is a chance for us to get even better before we play in January or February. I'm just going to trust that God has a plan in that. Maybe he wants us to do better than we think we could ever do, and is giving us the time for it. Maybe we won't play at all. But we have to remember that it isn't about the event, it's about the worship, and the time we get to spend leading our peers into God's presence.

Do I like snow? Not really. But it does allow me to stop and think about things for a bit. It does look pretty sweet when the storm's over. And when it's cleared up and you're decked out in your winter attire, it can be moderately fun :P

Have a good one.
