Winter Wonderland...

I love winter. Plain and simple. The snowy, quiet outdoors. The world is mine when I go for a long run on the trail early in the mornings. Only deer tracks beat me as I leave a curvy line of shoe-prints down the path. The crisp morning air stings my face as puffs of my breath hang in the stillness. Steady strides land quietly on the snow as a "V" of geese fly overhead, calling out their farewells as they glide south toward warmer weather. As for me, I'll stay here. Here in this perfect moment, enjoying God's amazing creation. Here in Iowa, knowing that this is exactly where God wants me. Here in life, totally content and seeking His will for me. I love home. I love winter.
