I seem to always talk about storms of life. I guess because I’ve been through so many of them, I am a true testimony. Webster says the definition of storm is: a disturbance of the atmosphere. Now think about that. When you have a disturbance in your life, here comes the storm. Let’s say there is a financial crisis. You have no money..storm, You lose your job..storm.. You lose a family member.. storm, you lose your husband/wife/child..storm, you lose you car..storm. I’m sure you get the point. The only time there isn’t a storm, is if you lose your life! So that means that through EVERY storm, there is a blue sky. What’s worse than going through a storm, is not surviving a storm. If you don’t survive the storm, then your storms are over!

To break all this down, God puts us through turmoil in our lives to make us stronger. Just like he makes it rain, to clean up the world, make the grass greener, and a host of other things. Without rain, just think how the the world will be. The same reason we have storms in our life.. to clean us up. To take us through a cleansing so we can be a little bit better. Just think.. every storm you go through, makes you a little bit stronger. I thank God every day for storms of life. It’s not the storms that I appreciate, it’s the calmness after the storm.

Think about your storms. If you write them down, then look at where you are now compared to where you were then, you’d realize how that storm actually saved you. Life is not complicated. Sometimes we wonder too much on what shoulda, coulda, woulda been, when in reality, everything that ever happened to you was pre-destined. It was supposed to happen. You were supposed to go through what you went through to get to where you are today.

This morning before I woke, I heard the birds chirping loud! I guess they were telling me to get ready and beat that storm! lol

So today in the midst of this storm, Thank God for being able to see you through it. In a few hours, the sun will be so bright and so will your life. Just weather this storm, and the sun will also shine on you!
Have an awesome and blessed day!
