"make me white as snow"

This will do.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams
and good madness.
I hope you read some fine books
and kiss someone who thinks the world of you.
And don't forget to make some art- -write or draw
or build or sing or live as only you can.
And I hope somewhere in the next year
you surprise yourself."

-Neil Gaiman

I think I found this quote at the right time. The first time I read it was right before a job interview in a small cubical in a big library on a small campus. I sat there as nerves filled me and people prayed for me and I sat there wondering about the upcoming year. Hoping. Hoping that God would disregard all that I had done and bless me with His mercy. Bless me with another good year. He did and He has and He is going to.

And now 5 months later I found this quote again. And it came at the right time, at the end of a heart aching day where you realize how messed up we all are and how bad you want Jesus to come and rescue us all. And even thou this quote has nothing to do with faith or my Father it has a lot to do with living and enjoying the good year before me and disregarding all that I want to forget.
I love that God wants us to go on living and growing and enjoying all thats around us.
I love that He hears us when we ask for jobs in a library and when we ask for forgiveness.
I love that He is faithful and all that I need.
And I love that He is good.
