Can't this freaking weather decide!!!!??!????

So, it was a beautiful, wonderfully sunshiny day all morning and afternoon....I got dressed for work tonight [capri's, sandals & a tank] enjoying the need for sunglasses and bronzer so I didn't look quite so pasty.  I had left the back door open so that my darling Sasha could enjoy the backyard while I was gone.  Much to my dismay, shortly after arriving at work, the BLACK clouds rolled in and the torrential downpour began.  My initial thought was something like, oh great....it's pouring and I am in sandals!   Then my mind quickly shifted to Sasha, who absolutely LOVES to lay out in the rain and had the ability to move in and out of the house at will.   My imagination began to envision muddy paw prints all over the kitchen and living room.  

But don't worry.   Once I was done with work, the sun was shining again.  PTLA!

I am CALLED....

"So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call.  May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do."

                                                       2 Thessalonians 1:11

I am reminded today that God enables me to live according to HIS call on my life, and gives me power to follow through on the promptings from the Holy Spirit.  He is so GOOD!!

The sun shines again.....

I was delighted this morning to wake up to the sun bursting through my blinds.  There is just something indescribable that happens when the sun shines.  Life is good, all is at peace, motivation is greater.  The warmth on your skin and the wincing that is required are somehow enjoyable.  One of my most favorite cards says "I believe we are all here for reason.  As each day unfolds we see less of the shadow and more of the sun."  And I can't help but think its even better changed to "As each day unfolds we see less of the shadow and more of the SON."  I am so thankful today that He shines in me and through me and around me each and every day.  That because of His presence shining down, life is good, all is at peace and I am motivated to share Him with everyone I come into contact with.  I am truly captivated by my Savior.
