white as snow.

"Come now, let us reason together,"
says the LORD.
"Though your sins are like scarlet,
they shall be as white as snow;
though they are red as crimson,
they shall be like wool.
Isaiah 1:18

You may or may not know this, but I have ALWAYS wanted a white Christmas tree! I love them. I especially love them living here in Virginia. Since we don't get much snow the white tree reminds me of fallen snow.
After much pressure Kevin succumbed to my need for a white Christmas Tree this year. :) Saturday I was super sick, but fortunately I found the energy later that day to decorate the tree with Kevin. We still have our fake green tree we will put up after Thanksgiving, but for now heres the pretty White one.

...In your presence is fullness of joy...

so many things go through my mind,
so many things I can't unwind,
so many things I give to God,
so many things I can not blog.

fragile, frail press on me,
fragile, frail is where I want to be.
in weakness he is strong,
this gives hope when things fall wrong.

by his grace;
a new song my life sings.
in his face;
a new heart my life leads.

stumble upon the rock I lean on.
stumble upon... joy.

nothing out of range.
nothing for my glory,
at the end of the day.
I can try,
I make it "me", but really?
really?

forward on
i'll sing this new song
the song thats written me today.

Forgiven.
and so the chorus repeats...
