Will It or Won't It....Part II?

Well, Sunday night I anxiously waiting to see if I would get to sleep in...it started raining but the temperature just wasn't cold enough. BUT we did get an early release an hour early to go home and watch...the rain. I've never had early release for rain before! We were in school like normal Tuesday and somehow this week has just dragged on.
And yet, here I am again...will it or won't it? We are under another winter weather advisory - this time for freezing rain tonight. They aren't making a big deal about it, so I'm assuming it's going to be a major weather event. That's usually how it happens. I have been told that I shouldn't despair though...Mount Airy will see it's fair share of snow soon enough.
Well, I'm sorry I don't have more exciting words for you tonight. We're going to Raleigh tomorrow for Friday night and Saturday so I've got to pack and get some things done tonight. I'll think of something good to say later...
here's wishing for snow! ;)

Will It or Won't It?

Tonight is one of those fun nights...I'm going to stay up intentionally until 11 to catch the last newscast. And I'll get up early tomorrow morning and turn to the news right away.
One of the things I LOVE about North Carolina that I didn't get to experience much in Texas...winter weather! We are under a Winter Storm Warning beginning tomorrow at 6 am through midnight. Possibly 6 inches of snow! What I don't know is how accurate they are for our new town, Mount Airy. In Raleigh, it was most likely we weren't going to get snow if they said we would (like 9 times out of 10) and that would would get snow suddenly, and sometimes a lot, if they said it would just be rain. But now that we live so much closer to the mountains, how accurate are they? One thing is for sure, it is going to precipitate, but we don't know if it will be cold enough for snow. I think, most likely, I'll have to go to school tomorrow, deal with hyper kids - myself included - all watching out the window and waiting to hear the words that we've dismissed school early. And there's that chance it will snow enough tomorrow afternoon that we'll have Tuesday off.
At least I've learned since high school, just because they say there's a chance, don't skip writing your paper for English! So I'm prepared to teach, but hoping in my heart that I get to sleep in.

Can I relate this to waiting for Christ to come for Christmas? Is that too much of a stretch? I realized at one point this evening, that I was more anxious and in awe of the weather tomorrow than the thought of a baby, born to a virgin, come to save the world of its sin, celebrated in less than a month.
Maybe one of these days I'll learn what's important. Until then, happy snow wishes...and even more significant...wishes of an insightful Advent season, anxiously awaiting the arrival of the One.
