I have to laugh. I mentioned weather in my last entry. It just goes to show that weather plays a bigger role in my life than before. Truth be told the title to this entry refers not only to the physical weather but the recent turbulence in my life.
Friday was a stormy day here in Grayslake. We had high winds in the late morning that resulted in ripping off half of the greenhouse plastic. We watched helplessly as the plastic roofing flapped violently in the wind. Then we got the signal to take shelter in the basement of the farmers' house. There was no tornado siren, but we felt like taking the precaution. Strangely enough the sun came out in the afternoon and we had a lovely summer day. Once the winds died down we cut off the rest of the plastic since it would no longer completely cover the roof. Now our greenhouse stands with its ribs showing. Thankfully it was time for the plants inside to meet the outside world.
The turbulence in my life came the first Saturday in May. I moved to a house right on the farm property (separate from the famers' house). It's an adorable house. However, in the move my computer got bumped and went on the fritz. Thus the reason for my month long silence. True, I have had occasional access to the internet throughout the month. Yet, I just didn't make myself enter anything in here. There was always something else to do.
Anyway, my old computer died and I now own a new one-the reason for the turbulence. It was quite the investment and one that I wasn't quite ready to make. It's opened my eyes to how much faith I put in my savings account. It's been hard. But I am glad that I have seen this foible. I pray my faith in God and His provision grows stronger no matter the fluctuation of my bank account.
