Close the Window!

I live in Alabama and the weather here is crazy! We can experience every season in the same week. Earlier this week, it felt like it was the middle of July! I went to turn on my A/C, heard a few clicks then…nothing! What a wonderful way to find out that the air doesn’t work lol. As the day went on I did my best to cope with the heat. I finally decided to open a window. When the sun went down, a breeze started to blow and my house was the perfect temperature. It was so refreshing! A few days later, the temperature dropped (of course). I never closed the window in my room so all the cold air was rushing in and I was freezing! I got up and got a blanket. I warmed up a little but I was still cold. I put on a pair of warm pajamas then got back under my blanket hoping that I would get warm. I eventually told myself “You’re doing too much! Just close the window!” Why didn’t I just close the window?! I kept thinking about how good the breeze felt on the hot day, and I told myself that it would probably be hot again soon so I should just leave it open. I don’t know what was wrong with me that night! The next morning, I thought about what I did the night before and found a few other situations where I was doing that same thing! I have been doing things to try and make myself more comfortable with some things and people in hopes that they would eventually serve the purpose that they once did. I had to admit to myself that seasons change. Trying to turn something seasonal into something long term just causes unnecessary work on your part. I also remembered when I was in a relationship that I knew was outside of the will of God. I saw the negative impacts that it was having on me but I did everything I could to ignore it, disguise it and cover it up. I just wanted to focus on the fleshly gratification I was getting. I ended up wishing I had just ended the relationship, just like I wished I had just closed the window. Whether there is something in your life that you’re holding on to past it’s season, or whether you have opened yourself up to something that you should never have been apart of to begin with…I beg you to let it go. Close the window!
luv ya 4 real
