A few more scenes from the walk that day in the park when it snowed. Click on the first one to view it better. There are geese swimming in the pond. :)

Here is a closeup of whatever plant is hanging over the fence.

Are you going through a hard time?

Are there days you feel the trial is too hard to bear?

I have felt that way many times through trials in my life.

Different trials teach us different things God wants us to learn. The times in the dark valleys are never easy, but God creates something new inside of us that we would have never known if we hadn't walked that road. We have to see them as treasures... something I had never thought of before until recently. I am just thankful God is there carrying me through them all.

This song is from Keith and Kristyn Getty. There is also another song after "Jesus Draw Me" you can hear if you'd like. I posted the words to "Jesus Draw Me" below the video.

Jesus, draw me ever nearer,
As I labor through the storm,
You have called me to this passage,
And I follow, though Im worn.

(Refrain)
May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my hearts testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus, guide me through the tempest.
Keep my spirit stayed and sure;
When the midnight meets the morning
Let me love You even more.

Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go
And at the end of this long passage
Let me leave them at your throne.
