sunny with a chance of storms

I had the opportunity to read the word of God on the beach today! It was beautiful this morning, sunny with a nice breeze. We even saw dolphins- lots of them swimming very near the beach. plus I got to be with my mom and my friend, T who I have known for 28 years! I went in to fix lunch and bring it back out and right after that, the sky turned grey and within minutes it was POURING! Lightning , thunder, pouring...

...Things can change quickly, and not always for the best, or the way we wish they did! that's life.

It's not as much what happens, as to how we RESPOND to whatever does happens. Sometimes I respond well, other times (a lot of times) I wish I had a second chance to respond the first time!

This morning while I was reading, I read this: "the heart of Asa was wholly devoted to the LORD all his days. " I Kings 15:14

That's the kind of heart I want- one wholly devoted to God all of my days-- no matter what is happening, no matter what happens to me, no matter what happens around me. No excuses, no complaints. Even when it rains and storms on my vacation! God loves me and He is in control! I want to live a life wholly devoted to my Lord!
