Dearest God,

The snow has come finally blanketing the ground. I've waited all winter for this day. I turned on the outside lights to watch the snow falling.

I am so mindful of the yin and the yang of life. Watching the pendulum swing back and forth can be challenging. Just when I get used to the yin, the yang comes. Being able to clutch that swinging instrument, being comfortable, trusting you in every change is so vital to my well being.

I want more than anything to take the ride trusting you. I want to realize that there is nothing beyond your control even when it feels like the ride is out of control. I want to take you at your word, "Hang on, it's going to be okay in the end." Trust, trust, trust is everything.

The yang of the seasons has come, this time most welcome for me at least. My driveway is full so I'm going nowhere today. I intend to sit back allowing myself to take it all in, grateful to you.

North, south,
east or west,
whichever way
the wind blows,
I want
to hold
onto you, Lord.
I want
to blow
in the same direction
with you.
I've tried
going the opposite direction.
It never works!
Help me
hang on,
Loving God,
hang on
to you.

Love, Andrea
