I know that anybody who is reading this from Victoria or South Australia would be justified in telling me to get over it, but I just want to say that I am really tired of summer!I've always preferred winter - I figure that you can do something about getting warm in winter (eg move around, put more clothes on, etc), but there's only so far that you can decently strip off in summer - and sometimes that just isn't enough!
Add to that the fact that my room is an oven that just stores the heat that it collects from its north-facing wall, and you find me really struggling to cope with the heat.
When we're not even getting decent drops in temperature overnight and haven't had a cool change come through for a couple of weeks, my room just seems to be getting hotter and hotter - especially if I shut the door to go to bed at night.
My friend who lives across the corridor came into my room after breakfast one morning last week and complained that it was so hot just standing talking to me! She has a south-facing external wall and her room is generally 5-10 degrees cooler than mine!
My recurring fear is that one day, God will decide that he's really going to test me and move me to a tropical region (because humid heat is FAR worse than dry heat).
In the meantime, I am grateful that he provides us with seasons, and try to keep reminding myself that this heat will not last forever, that winter will, indeed, return one day, even if there are days that I think that is just too far away.
