If there was a storm…would you snuggle underneath the covers…or would you run to the window to watch the front roll in…
The rain pounding on the roof…the wind howling in the fireplace…branches snapping and thunder clapping…dark as night…
storms can light up the night sky…and when you think it couldn’t get darker…a bolt of lightning strikes a tree and it catches on fire…
My ears are ringing…the house is shaking…the power is flickering on and off…just to let you know it may go out…
Somethings can remind you of your childhood…sometimes good and others bad…you can’t change what has happened…
Storms in life tend to rip you apart…in the morning you can assess the damage…are you going to stay and rebuild…
Or are you going to pack your bags and flee…to a place that is unknown to you…is your past too hard to face…
After the damage is done…will you stay and re-build or will you choose to move on…
Like a twister leaves a path of destruction…your words can do the same…if you’re angry it may be better to be quiet…
In a world full of injustice…and so many people wanting life to be fair…it’s hard to be honest…when your world is being blown apart…
Like the tempest rages on…like a typhoon pounding with sheets of rain…like an island that isn’t built for wind…when the storm passes…
the devastation that is left behind…
You can choose to re-locate…or you can choose to stay…try to pick up the scattered pieces…sometimes the winds are stronger than you…
Sometimes the path of the storm…makes you want to start fresh…sometimes it gives way to doubt…because how could a loving God take everything away…
It’s hard for us to imagine…Jesus has given everything He had…so that He could help us rebuild from the fall…it’s been a struggle for us since the fall…
The world we live in…is broken because of sin…it was never meant to be that way…
