Ahhhh....it starts, obviously I am not going to post regularly. I feel that this is almost like a journal of what the Lord is showing me, and I want to share with whoever wants to know, so please know that this is completely normal for me!
So spring has sprung! It has been an incredibly warm and dry winter here in Northern Colorado which makes me sad. I am one of those crazy people who truly enjoy a good snow. I love the way those big, fluffy snowflakes fall gently from the sky. It makes me feel as if I am in a snow globe. I love it. However, Spring has its own joys that it brings. Spring always reminds me of renewal ,a time to start over and begin again. I know, I know, isn't that what the New Year is? I guess, I kind of think of the New Year like that, but nothing expresses that better than Spring. I love to see the tree's begin to bud, the daffodils, tulips, and crocuses pushing up out of the ground, and the weather warm up. Of course that comes with sneezing, sneezing, and MORE SNEEZING! Oh, how I loathe allergies. It seems that usually good things coincide with not so enjoyable things, and part of me feels as if I should have some great spiritual insight in relation to that, but I have none. I am not sure that I believe that God brings good things, but balances the good with bad stuff too. The God I view is loving, and while He does discipline and refine us, I just do not see how allergies discipline or refines me. I think that God uses all things to a purpose, but I am pretty sure that allergies are just one of those things we refer to as "life". As in, "That's just life".
Too many people feel that there has to be an explanation for everything. For instance, the guy on the 700 Club...Pat Robertson? What a quack...This guy spews so much hatred it is ridiculous, and then calls it "God". I feel bad for him that he has never experienced the character of Who God is, that He would actually think that God would be so spiteful and hateful. Okay, I digress, because I do not want to give this guy any more attention than everyone seems to love to do. I know too many people who say there is a demon behind every negative or bad thing that happens. Honestly, allergies happen, so do car accidents, etc. That is just part of life, and I think that people (in general) give Satan more credit than he is due.
