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

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
