As White As Snow

"Though your sins be as scarlet, soon they will be as white as snow." Isaiah 1:18

As White As Snow
Desk 7

One cold night as the snow was falling steadily, I was driving with my boyfriend.

I kept staring out the window memorized by the giant flakes kissing the cold ground. It was beautiful.

as I would say, "Wow, I love snow." My boyfriend, having heard me say this multiple times replied,

"Yeah, I know. You keep saying that." He wasn't being rude, he just wasn't seeing what I was seeing.

As I stared out the window I kept wondering what it was exactly that made me repeat the same verse over and over again. "I love snow."

It's not the part that makes me freeze when I step outside. The part where your eyes water because your nose hairs just froze.

It wasn't the part where I was wearing three layers and still shivering.

It wasn't the part where the roads are extremely dangerous, and not fun to drive on.

In fact, these are all the things I don't like about winter.

It's the part where snow is so clean, and so pure.

I always find joy in making new tracks when there's a fresh blanket of snow on the ground.

Maybe it's the child in me, or maybe it the Jesus inside me.

I think God had the same line as me when he created such a cold delicate art piece, "I love snow."

I could go off on how every snowflake is different but what I really see with this white fluffy stuff, is Jesus.

He took a crimson red, our sins, and made it as white as snow.

He made us pure.

He made a fresh blanket.

He made us as white as snow.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
