today it's not just raining; it's snowing too. what horrible weather. i am absolutely repulsed. springtime was supposed to come. but i was reminded, while on a bit of a walk through said inclement elements, that THIS is the day that the Lord has made; so let us rejoice and be glad in it. today the circumstances and the feelings and all that's in the world say "Don't Rejoice!", but i want to choose to joy in the God of my salvation.
though the fig tree may not blossom
nor fruit be on the vine
i delight to do Your will, oh God
for this has become mine:
i WILL rejoice in the Lord
so today might be gross, i may have no energy, i may have no coffee in my system, i may not feel like moving on, but i'm going to. because the Lord knew today would be like this; and this is the day He made. He doesn't give more than i can handle, and His ways are always of mercy and truth. so, He gave me today, whether i like it or not, and i can choose to rejoice. [and be blessed by doing so!]
surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ps 23:6

I can relate Annie! I too was exuberated about Spring coming, only ot be surprised by this confused in itself weather! But, this is also a day that the Lord has made! Amen!
Yes, the weather was crazy - but there was sun on Tuesday!! It's still there behind all the clouds, like Jesus... so living in Siegen is just one big object lesson! :-)
