The wind is howling today, so I was inspired to do the once-a-year-task that comes around this time: switch out the closet. See, here in Sacramento, there are only two seasons: HOT, and COLD. Luckily, October is the month where you start seeing some in-between, but for the most part, seasons creep up on you and you have drastic weather changes.
So, I have to keep a rotation of my wardrobe. I keep the off-season clothes in a space bag under my bed, and when Fall rolls around, I vacuum up the tanks and shorts, and make room for the sweaters and jeans.
Isn't life funny? One day it's blazing hot, and the next day, we're digging up sweaters for warmth. If I learned anything this year, it's just that: that life can change at any minute. God has a way of showing us that no matter what we're expecting, He is in total control. Things can come, and things can go--opportunities, jobs, money, people, material things. We just have to go with it... we have to let go and let God, and just adapt. Take off some clothes, or throw some on.
The past few days have given me renewed hope. One minute I'm on my knees begging to God for things to be okay, and the next day, there He is, picking me up and showing me that they will be. I just had to let it go.
With that said, today, I welcome Fall, and all that it may bring. I can't wait to throw on a cozy sweater, curl up on my couch with a hot cup of tea and some Beverly Hills 90210 reruns. And, I'll pray all the time-- whether life's good or bad, hot or cold. You never know what God will do.
