This weekend started off great. A Friday evening to ourselves, a productive Saturday around the house followed by a fun evening of pizza and a movie with friends...life doesn't get any better than that. I had time to meditate on my lesson for Sunday morning and "extra" time to dig into God's Word without being rushed or having other things on my mind - that's what I call a good day. Then Sunday rolls around which is the most exciting day of the week for me and nothing seems to go right. What happened? I thought I was doing good - the weekend was great, I was on a high and my world comes crashing down - that's what I call a bad day. We all have good days and bad days. It's a reminder to me of what my relationship with God is like - good days, and bad days.
Pastor John recently challenged me about God's wisdom. How much do I want to know God? Proverbs uses words like search, store, turn your ear, look up, call out, cry aloud...then you will understand. In other words, God's not just going to hand me wisdom. I have to want it bad enough to seek out. My relationship with the Lord can be a roller coaster of ups and downs, but it's during the downs that I realize how much I need God and how much I need to cry out for his wisdom so I can apply it to my life. It's those "bad days" and moments of when I want to quit and give up that only make me search and look up more and more and those are the moments I never want to let go of. So thank you God for the good days, but thank you also for the bad days.

Casting Crowns sings a song about praising Him in the storm and I know that you do that Kristi as I have watched you! You give me strength to keep moving towards Him and to continue to love others through His eyes even when my eyes are seeing things that hurt. Thanks for loving those little children. Seeing you work with them pumps me up! Love you girl and hope today is a Good God Day!
