A snowy day

It started it sleet and rain. I wasn’t going anywhere anyway so it didn’t matter. But as it has happened before: the snow didn’t happen. Whether it just stalled or the meteorologists got too excited about the possibility of a storm, the rest of the day didn’t pan out like they thought.

It’s not just the weather that doesn’t happen like we thought! Life has a way of happening and it’s NOT the way it had been forecast. But God said, but He promised, but it’s supposed to be, and it’s not. I listened to the rain hit the roof today and wanted snow. I looked it the window looking for snow and nothing. I look at the plans I thought and they aren’t happening. Of course we blame the weatherman when the weather doesn’t pan out. And of course I blame God when my heart plans don’t pan out. Yet, I have everything I could possibly need. Lord remind me that sometimes I think too much. Remind me to rest in who you are and not the fantasies I invent in my head.
