JUST BREATHE
This morning I got to wake up bright and early to lovely snow and chipper birds. Oh Montana, how I love your corky weather and surprises. I used to hate all of this snow that seemingly lasts forever, but now some part of my heart has fallen in love with this placet. My heart has been stolen by the snow.. oh the words that have crossed my mind. 
I think that it is the little things that you need to choose to look at and see the beauty in. Like these cute little flowers that popped up yesterday only to be greeted by snow today. I didn't even know we had these cute little flowers, and while wer'e renting and living in student housing, its sometimes the little things you wish you could do to make a place feel like home aren't possible (like a garden and flower bed that isn't filled with nasty gophers).
I love flowers and these cute little things were such a joy for me to see. Reminding me that the Lord knows what I need to bring a smile to my face when life is a little crazy. They stopped me and reminded me to let go of the busyness and control that I have been holding on to. It would be a shame if I was so focused on the busyness in my life I miss these small things that brighten my heart.
