it is what it is

why do people complain about the weather?
it is what it is
its pouring today, and am not going to get soaked walking for some milk
but i'm not going to complain
i'm not going to let the weather ruin my mood
it just is what it is
when it's really hot out, i can barely function, i feel sick
but i fight hard to not let the weather dictate my emotions
it just is what it is

God created it
He ordained the days it would rain, or shine
snow, or blow
freeze, or blaze
lamenting cannot change it
bitching about it doesn't make me feel any better
it is what it is

and one thing it always is, is beautiful, in it's own way
i choose to see the beauty of the rolling clouds, the patterns the drops make on the puddles
appreciate the watering of the trees and flowers so they will bloom next week... or next year
God knows what He's doing,
who am i to complain about what He's doing?
He makes everything glorious...
am i going to call down what God has made and ordained?
NO!!!!!
it is what it is
and i choose to see the beauty
rather than the inconvenience,
and appreciate the challenge
that God is working in for my good...
and so i will praise Him
rain, sun, sleet, heat...
God made it, He ordained it
it is what it is.

Outcast, Adopted.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
