I left Maui with a slight sunburn- hours later I was walking out of the Vancouver airport into full out winter wonderland. Thick snow blanketed everything in sight and was falling like confetti, celebrating my arrival. From what I hear, this is unusual weather - which would be why buses aren't running this morning, etc- but its been pretty fun for heightening the drama of moving from Maui to Canada. Clearly they aren't kidding when they call Canada "The Great White North" ...
Its been really beautiful thus far- not just the plush carpet of bright white snow, but settling into my house and meeting a few people... the generosity and hospitality I've met continue to blow me away. I've been asked over to a family's home to spend Christmas day, invited to a New Year's gathering, and now had someone volunteer their car for a couple weeks while they are out of town for the holiday. The believers in this community are crazy. I'm so blessed. The Lord has not just paved my way, He has rolled out a red carpet- or, more appropriately- a white one.
