WHOOA!! THIS WEATHER

Hello beautiful,

I'm not sure if you have noticed this weather has been a roller coaster ride all in one week. I know it went from cold to freezing to then ice in for a few days, to now warm I guess. I'm not sure what was going on and I couldn't just drink my wonderful tea. It was so cold I had to pull out some hot chocolate. I couldn't believe how up and down and then the rain. Yes, I know it's not a lot but still the rain here and there. I know this sounds like I'm complaining but I want you to see how we react to everything in such a negative way. 

Let's recap this weather for the week. God showed us something so amazing with the wonderful rain and then the beautiful white ice or snow. How often do we in the Southeast Texas get to experience a chance to look out our windows and see the most breathtaking sight of nothing but white. It was icicles and the grounds were covered in white ice. Some people get snow but we got ice. Yesss!!! So amazing! Then we broke records in temperatures being 19 degrees. Gasp for air because this area hasn't had that type of weather since 1989. 

Now let's look at our relationship with God. How cold do we get when things are going so well and we're really enjoying ourselves. We turn our relationship off or we don't pray and study as much as we should when things are going so well. Then as soon as we get into trouble or a storm arises we get really hot and on fire for God. Why do we do this? Why do we change so drastically with our relationship with God? Simple we act just like the weather because we don't have a true and deep relationship with God. This can be from a few things of didn't learn how to have a true relationship or even only treat God like He's right here as a natural man. Just depends on how you view it or what has been taught and understood. 

I believe we should evaluate our relationship because we shouldn't have an up and down relationship with God. Our relationship with him should be a good relationship in the way of we want to learn more about Him and we want to have a close and intimate relationship. We should be amazed at all He does for us on a daily bases. It shouldn't be only when things are going bad in our lives we want more of Him. We should prepare to want more of Him during the great times of our lives because that's Him showing His self to us. When things are going bad these are the times He wants us to cry out to Him so he can show Himself to us in a different way. Through the good times or the bad times we need God and our relationship with Him shouldn’t change just because it’s good or if it’s bad. Our relationship shouldn’t reflect and be on a roller coaster ride like the weather but a pure and genuine relationship with God. Loving Him for whom He is in our lives and not just for what He can do for us.  Run toward Him, invest your time in Him, and dive deep into what He has for you.  Don’t be like the weather but be more like God every single day, which is to love all and display Him in everything you do and say.

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.
