The Lyrics in my Head

'I've got a rough and tumble heart

well, it took a few falls till it got smart

but its still tender in the deepest part

this rough and tumble heart'

Wonderland

I truly hate winter. I know I'm supposed to see the beauty in a frosty winter landscape, but for me it is all just a harsh reminder that I can so easily be trapped. The devil tried to whisper in my ear this week. He wanted me to fear. Silly devil, I have had a starring contest with you, and guess what? YOU BLINKED FIRST! I have nothing to fear because I am loved. The God of the universe is not done working in me. Through me... Who has time for ridiculous things like fear?


Today I am stuck in my house. The snow has all but locked me away here. Yet I am not alone. In an act of pure providence, Theresa has been shut in with me. Let the snow fall. Let the wind howl...

I am safe and happy.
