Times of Frost

I snapped this picture after the first frost.  I was amazed that something so damaging could be so beautiful.  Then I got to thinking...frost is a natural occurrence.  I think that my life should be "frostless."  But difficult times are just part of life.  Some people seem to be able to live a pretty sheltered, uneventful life.  But, is that life?

The inner city definitely is NOT my comfort zone.  I struggle at times here--sometimes I want to leave, BUT I am growing and learning and being challenged.  That's life.  I think I'll stick around and see what else God has to show me.
