"Sunshine on my shoulders..."

So I re-realized something about myself.
The sun effects my mood directly.
It think it does all of us.
On a day like today, with the sun shining down on me, the grass turning a beautiful shade of green, the dogwoods blossoming, I can't help but be happy and optimistic.
My outlook on life itself has improved dramatically just by walking outside in the sun.
I can't wait for tomorrow.
I think I may have a picnic with Will at Schimmels... (shhhh. Don't tell.)
That sounds absolutely divine.

God is also a pretty cool guy.
The other night I just couldn't sleep (Gee... wonder why?) and as I was laying there in bed, my mind racing and trying to pray, I thought of something.
I realized that I was praying for all these things and I was in a real battle.
But in all of that I realized that I was not ready for battle.
I was not wearing the full armor of God.
I may have on the Helmet of Salvation, but what about the rest of it?
The Belt of Truth?
The Breastplate of Righteousness?
Feet fitted with the Gospel of Peace?
Shield of Faith?
Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God?
If I am going to to battle with nothing but a helmet on how do I expect to survive? Much less Thrive?
Well I thought about all that and then went to sleep.
The next day in class (Yesterday) the devotion one of the students led us in was about the Armor of God.
Dang.
Maybe God wants to grab my attention.

Well... Back to studying for that exam...
