As soon as I get used to a certain temperature, it violently changes and throws me into a tail spin.
This past weekend, here where I live, it got so cold that I just never could quite thaw out completely. I even dug my electric throw out of the bottom of the closet and put it under my comforter for about an hour before I went to bed. The only problem with this ended up being that I got scalded half way through the night and had to wake everyone in the bed because my fur baby,Austin, would not move off of it. Bless his sweet little heart because I think he might have been cold also.
These beautiful little tulips and hyacinths came up in our front yard that make me smile just looking at them, but now that the weather changed I find myself concerned that they will become "shocked" and shrivel up. I am slightly worried about them, which is funny because they are flowers...
So mother nature, if you would, please just give me back some sunshine because it has made me so happy and calm during a hectic time in my life.
The kingdom of God is within you. - Luke 17:21
I feel as thought I have somehow lost my way. My best friend Maggie used to say that a relationship with God is like being on a trail, which I always envisioned as a dirt walking path in the woods. She would say that sometimes people venture out into the woods for one reason or another looking for something or other. That first step they take into the leaves is enticing and thrilling knowing all the while that the dirt path is the right/ correct process. She would say that we needed to find our way back to the path. She has done this dance at several points in her life which is a helpful example to those of us that can't seem to live up. I need to shock my relationship with God. It's like exercising. If you fall out of the habit more and more eventually it only gets easier and easier to not workout. I think that prayer is a helpful tool but here lately I feel like God doesn't need to hear ever single trivial detail in my day to day. This started out small and now is to the point where I go an entire day without speaking to him. I am going to start re-reading the bible like my friend Becca does, a chapter at a time before reading the fun book of the moment. I need to instill some discipline into my daily schedule. I have begun to work out which helps my body. I have made huge steps in organization which helps my routine. I have completely opened up to love with Jay which has helped fill my heart. I need to spark something in my own spirituality.
Any suggestions on this out there? I have several books and exercises in mind, but I wanted to get advice from my blog family.
