The weather

So yesterday I got woken up by the rain at 4:30 in the morning...not cool! It took me forever to get back to sleep. When I actually had to get up I went downstairs and opened the door to check the weather and it was soooo cold and raining it was gross. I didn't want to leave and go to class in that kind of weather. But, by the strength and grace of God I was able to finish getting ready and make my way to class. The weather didn't really get that much better throughout the day either. I was hoping that today the weather would be much better but the weather has been kind of the same, with just a little bit less rain. One thing I dislike more than anything is being cold! When I am cold I just feel like I will never be able to get warm again. I hate the feeling! I am not ready for this fall weather yet! It came so suddenly. I want the summer weather to come back for a little while but I think that fall weather is here to stay. I guess I will have to wait till spring for the warm weather again.

Use Me

Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
Melt me, mold me
Fill me, use me
Spirit of the living God
Fall afresh on me
This song reminds me a lot of my dad and he used to sing it a lot at church. It reminds me of how God used him to touch other peoples lives. One thing he used to always say that has really stuck with me is "It's not about me, it's about how I can make a difference in someone elses life." I am ready for things to not be about me anymore and for God to use me to make a difference in someone elses life. If everyone had that mentality just think of what this world would be like.
