{Unexpected...}

I walk the room, watching them work diligently on their project.
Soft piano music playing in the background.

When out of the corner of my eye I see it...

Soft, white, fluffy flakes dancing down from the sky.
Dancing to the tune of the piano.
A hop here, a skip here, a twirl there.

Soft flakes that fall and warm my heart.
Soft flakes that fall and quench the earth of its drought.

Like Grace that flows from the Father.
So do these flakes dance into my heart.

Like the white, bright truth of the Father who holds us tight and loves us fast.
The Father who promises us He will never leave nor forsake us.
Who makes our sins as white as snow.

...His Words dance in my heart and my soul.

With each falling flake from the heavens above I am reminded of Him and His goodness.

My students race to the windows.
Awe and wonder stretching a mile wide.
Joy radiating of their faces and it is here...

...Here where I see, 
Where it is so clear,
the truth I have always known.

Even in the Unexpected,
the Unexpected of life,
God still longs for me to come to Him as his child.

Awe.
Wonder.
Joy.

And with that...
the flakes dance in the sky.


...STOP...

It was so wonderful to hear her speak at Relevant and learn how
to write for the Glory of God.
Thank You Lisa!

Praying that God's truth dances in your heart and
falls upon you like the soft, snow from the sky.

I am looking forward to another day of teaching, of putting pen to paper, and celebrating those who serve.
What are you looking forward to?

By His Grace,
Cole
