It’s a stormy evening only about 8. The room is moderatly lit and the noise is mellow. A mixture of Cuban sound and conversations cause my thoughts to drift in and out. The large raindrops begin to splatter on the window sill beside me. I share the the table with my bible, my cellphone, my journal and pen, a water bottle, and a book (Beauty by the Book), and a tall warm cup of Guatemala (a coffee that pairs well with cocoa though I have no plans for any). The storm outside begins to excite as the lighting flashes. The wind picks up and blows the palms around me and my eyes change focus from the rain outside to my reflection in the glass. I am missing God right now as my lack of giving myself daily bread has increased. I snuggle up in my favorite black hoodie to reflect. God is here though I fail to keep Him always on my mind. And in this moment I want to ponder on things of God.
So I sit and read a great passage from James. This book is so good when your facing any kind of trials and right now I am not sure if my life is an adventure or a trial. Perhaps a finely tuned mixture of both.
James 1:5-
If any of yo lacks wisdom, let him ask God who gives generously to all without reproach and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will recive anything from the Lord, he is a sober minded man unstable in all his ways.
