34 degrees and the heat wants to kick on because the house is at 59 degrees.

That same day, it gets windy and gusting to 40 mph winds with hail.

Next day it gets to 81 degrees and I need an air conditioner for the house being 80! That night it dropped to 45 and we had storms and winds that blew trees down. 

This morning it is beautiful, clear, blue skies and 52. 

It is like the weather has schizophrenia! It can't decide which season it is supposed to be!

We need stability. Warm days and cooler nights. Sunshine and blue skies with mild breezes to keep the skeeters off of us.

What's going on???

God is in control. I'm not even bothering with worries about global warming or other nonsense.  I know God has a plan and He is working His plan. There is a plan in His Word (The Bible) that tells us what is going to happen. We cannot change that plan or delay it, or speed it up. It is in God's perfect timing alone. Not ours.

When we get frustrated, angry, depressed, anxious or worried, we can depend on the truth that God knows. God cares. God loves. God has a plan and you are in that plan. He can take care of you --- but there are many times that you need to talk to Him, ask directions, request help, and obey His word and lean into Him.

Life is not really random. It has a pattern and God is working it all out.

As His word declares: Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Don't depend on your own understanding. In everything, acknowledge Him and HE WILL DIRECT YOUR PATH.

He'll show you the way. He'll prepare you for what He has planned. 

Now, the enemy will also mess with you, your thoughts and your plans, BUT GOD. So pray. Trust. Learn. Keep faith and hope alive and active. 

We're all in this together --- and Jesus is coming back.

Now to find my sunscreen, sweater, fly repellant and boots...

Maranatha, ya'll!
