I’m going to sound spoiled but it’s where God placed us for a time and we NEVER take it for granted.
When I look out the window, I see all of Lake Zurich (approx. 35km long). I see mountains to the right of me already covered in snow. I see orchards on either side where the last of Fall harvest is hanging. I see villages dotting the other side of the lake. I see a church steeple down the hill and when the bells start ringing, can actually read the time from the church clock.
Whether snow, rain, shine or fog, I am reminded each day of a Creator God. One with beautiful imagination who designed a beautiful world. His majesty overwhelms me.
I know we will have to move, could be sooner than later, but I have been given this gift and will cherish it always.

Right now out my window is a blizzard raging and winds pounding on my house.

What stirs in my heart is amazement because I’ve never seen snow like this in such great amounts, and I’m told this is NOTHING compared to what is to come.

Longing stirs in my heart because I miss Jake and I know he would LOVE to see this. He loves the snow.

A bit of fear stirs in my heart too at the thought of having to possibly drive in it tomorrow. My goal is to not leave the house, but dang it we need milk.

Hope stirs in my heart as well. Hope that we will have a white Christmas, which is of course the best kind to have! Jake and I always talk about wanting a white Christmas. HA!!

And I’m a bit cold when I look outside. Seriously, it’s freezing out!

Right now I see darkness. I think that the feelings that God is stiring in my heart would be calmness. Lol. All day I put on a mask for everyone and at night thats when I take it off and I allow myself to be whatever.

When I look at window in my apartment I face a freeway. A very busy one and I look at each car pass and say to myself: Where are they going? Who’s in the car with them? Why are they in a hurry? I wonder if they are happy or sad.

But mostly, I wonder if I jumped in my car with no reservations, unlimited gas… where I go? Who would I see?

Who would God want me to meet with?

mmm… i love your answer to this.

when i look out the window, sometimes i’m overwhelmed by the enormity of the task. sometimes i’m stunned by God’s handiwork, in nature and in my life. sometimes i’m burdened by how little i seem to get done in a day. sometimes i’m in awe of how much God seems to do in me and through me. sometimes the dark clouds mirror my heart. sometimes the sunshine mirrors my heart. sometimes i turn away and refuse to look, out of fear or doubt or complacency or hurt. sometimes i can’t seem to turn my eyes away, not wanting to miss a single thing.

and then sometimes an ostrich comes and pecks at the window!
