A week ago I was able to visit Dan for the first time. I hadn't been to Changchun before and I had no idea just how cold it would be. It was worth the cold though for the amazing amounts of SNOW I was able to enjoy!! Since I live on the coast, it doesn't snow in my city so I was very grateful to have a few days of that.

I have decided that though I hate the cold, I love the snow. There is a new Christmas song out this year about snow and I wanted to share the lyrics because it's really beautiful...


You Could've come like a mighty storm
With all the strength of a hurricane
You could've come like a forest fire
With the power of heaven in Your flame

But You came like a winter snow
Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below

You could've swept in like a tidal wave
Or an ocean to ravish our hearts
You could have come through like a roaring flood
To wipe away the things we've scarred

But You came like a winter snow
You were quiet
You were soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below

Oh, no, Your voice wasn't in a bush burning
No, Your voice wasn't in a rushing wind
It was still
It was small
It was hidden

You came like a winter snow
Quiet and soft and slow
Falling from the sky in the night
To the earth below
