Bananas

I have a silly story, but I like it :)
My cousin and I were at Coldstone yesterday. I got the Birthday Cake Remix (and asked for bananas too!) and she got Cheesecake Fantasy. We paid and sat down to enjoy the wonderful icecream. Turns out, no bananas. But EVERY bite I was for some reason hopeful that their would be banana there. I think the girl was new, so she just forgot. No biggie. I was telling my cousin though, that we'll be hopeful for God and he will never forget the bananas in your life. Haha. It's silly, but sweet to really think about. Made me happy. And I shared the story at bible study with the middle schoolers. One of the middle schoolers, Victoria, said that she was thinking about God and thinks he is like a balloon because we can throw darts at him but he'll never pop. It's so awesome to know that no matter what problem, mess, "dart" we throw at God, he'll just bounce back with an answer and never pop. :)

I broke my blowdryer this morning. I guess maybe it's a good thing because I wouldn't have written this if it was still working. Ohhh, the humurous and interesting plans God has.

It's been raining for a couple days now; that's all I've been accompanied by. I've heard God through this rainy weather alot. I love to hear the music he plays as the rain plinks off of gutters, tables, the ground, the trees, the roof. It's beautiful music. My friend said that it's heard world-wide, it's music residing from the maker. True and amazing.
I wrote this two days ago while journaling:
Thunderstorms remind me of whose the one with the control. All we [as humans] can do is predict weather and let it unfold like it desires, just like God made it. In the midst of a thunderstorm, here I am, unable to stop or control it in the least. God's hands are the conductors. He is the one who does it all.

It blows my mind that we play creator in situations, yet we fail to fix our eyes upon the one who does it ALL. We may think we can create, or fix, or help, or love. But he does all of it at once, because it's his whole being, he is the embodiment of GOOD.

Have a lovely day, rain or shine or snow or anything. It's a day the Lord has fashioned regardless.
