I am still struggling with back pain that is pretty debilatating.   In that, I can't do anything.  No comfortable position.  I went to the doctor and he was encouraging and did not think that it would be permanent but would get better.   I have to admit, I have had a lot of fear since this started on Sunday.  I used to be a worker's comp. case manager and I have seen enough of back pain to scare me to death.

Submitting to it and my weakness in the body is really all I can do right now.  I have to say that if I am going to have to go through this, I  am so thankful for my husband.  He is a most precious gift to me.  The great thing about this is that even though I feel prettty weak and vulnerable right now, he is a great support and encouraging.

I bet you are wondering why I titled the blog SNOW! ? After having a not so great day yesterday, I just wanted to know that God was present, with me, BIG...  Last night as my tears fell, so did the snow.  I did not realize it was going to snow or that there was a possibility.  I called my daughter in Austin and she said it snowed there also.  She did not really see the significance of it.  After all, it barely stuck to the ground.  But as I was reading in Job,

He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down.  Everyone stops working at such a time so they can recognize his power.  Job 37:8  and then God asks Job,

"Have you visited the treasuries of the snow?" Job 38:22

Who can question His will or His way?  The snow gently falling outside reminds me of this.  It reminds me of His presence and of His power no matter what we are going through.  The snow was a reminder of the "wonder" of God that is bigger than life.  Thank you for the gift of SNOW.
