The view outside the Florida address where I am staying is lazy, sunny and peaceful. However, the temperature is actually -2*c, which is pretty chilly for a place renowned for warm, sunny days. I've just come inside from the laundry - and it is c-o-l-d.
Life can be deceiving. Am I being deceived by a delay in getting home? The flights have been changed twice and still I sit and wait to get home. The weather around the country is making record breaking temperatures.
Fortunately, God isn't deceived and knows where I am, what I need and what will eventuate. This God is loving and merciful, enfolding me in grace and warmth. What am I noticing? Discouragement? Annoyance? Frustration? Yes, I have noticed all of these.
I can choose to notice where God is and breathe in the breath of God? I wii choose to breathe God into my discouragement and into the annoyance and frustration.
As it stands I will be home 6 days later than originally planned...or maybe the flights will be changed again. God knows - plans for good and not evil, plans to give a future and hope.
