Snow, snow, snow...Spring!

Hey y'all, Thank you so much for being interested enough to give me a chance. I hope you will have an extreme measure of patience as well. I'm pretty sure y'all in California and Florida haven't been affected by the snow but we sure have. My mom and dad live up the mountain from me. They're at about 4000 ft and I'm at about 2000. The difference is worlds apart.
They've been socked in by snow most of the winter, to the point where they couldn't get out of their driveway and I couldn't get in. I did go up the other day to get a deposit in the bank and I made it about half way up Sara's driveway which is right next door. My mom's car was at the foot of their driveway so there was no getting in there. I was there about 30 minutes and when I came back out my truck was sitting in the middle of the road just like I'd parked it there. It was pretty funny. At least it was still in one piece.
The constant snow is over now although I'm sure we'll get more before it's all over. At least we can see the ground and get in the driveway. Down at my house we're starting to see early signs of spring which is my favorite time of year. A time for renewal, new beginnings and survival of the long harsh winter.
Anyway, I've worked from home mostly this winter. I've put about four books together. It is the meat in them that has kept me from loosing my mind. I did one on Joy and another on the Mind. I've already posted the one on joy on the website. I'm still working on the mind, and Living Out of the Heavenlies. I also finished putting one together on The Lords Prayer. The Covenant Promise book is ready but I just can't print it or any of them for that matter. (Please pray for that blockade to be removed.) My dad is still working on The Last Estate although he keeps changing the title. He hasn't even let me see one word of it so don't feel bad.
Him and my mom are doing well. Just the normal issues of being in their late seventies. I'm so glad they have each other, what a blessing that is!
The truth is, we're having a hard time as are many others. But, we've had hard times before and we've always come through. Non-profits are having a hard time in general thanks to the policies of our "new" government. It just makes us feel like the end is near because He said these things would happen. Oh! the glory of suffering for the Kingdom! I'm sure this is just the beginning and it will get worse. As long as we stay close into Him, He will provide.
Lotsa Love and Blessings, Susanna
