Adapatability

Hi - ever wonder what would happen to a snake if you put it in the artic? Or maybe a polar bear in a tropical rain forest?

Well, the answer is easy - they would not do well - they would die out!!

But, have you ever considered that people can live in nearly any place on Earth and survive? There have been people living in the hottest, the wettest, the coldest, the dryest and everything in between. It is pretty amazing!

The reason that we are able to do this is that we humans were made able to adapt to different environments very well! We can adjust our temperatures and heat consumption or preservation. We can think about how to further survive by collecting water or by covering up to keep dry!

But, this is no accident - we were made so amazingly complicated and wonderful by a God who loves us very much and wants us to succeed on this planet!!

Now, i understand that life is full of problems and pain and crises and issues, not to mention bills and frantic paces, hectic schedules and meetings to keep - but in the middle of this i fear we have often lost our joy - our appreciated of the amazingness of life! Let me ask you then to remember, whenever you see or think of a faraway place, a vacation, a getaway, etc, that you were made able to adjust to wherever that place is - and in that moment, just start a conversation with the God who made you that way!! Appreciate how amazing you are and invite Him into the moment - you will not regret it...and the more you do it, the more your life will be released from the prison of our rushing world!

If your life is crazy and lonely - if you are wondering if there's something More to life - we would love to share a couple hours with you - talking about this kind of stuff!!

We will be hanging out at McAllister Recreation Center - just off 20th and Schuyler Ave, Lafayette, 6:45-8:00PM tomorrow night, February 10th. As always, there will be free, excellent child care!

Hope to see you!
