going threw the STORM???

What really happens when you are going threw a storm? Close your eyes and imagine being outside. The rain is pouring! Its raining cats and dogs. You dont have a rain coat, boots, or umbrella. Not only is its raining, but the wind is blowing. Lightening flasing!!! Its dark!!! When you are going threw the storm, you feel alone. You are cold. You feel unprotected. The wind is beating you up. You are soaking wet. The added weight from the rain is weighing you down. The added pressure from the wind is slowing you down. I guess you get the picture. Storms do not bring a little drizzle or a cloud. Storms come out of no where and interrupt your life. The good thing that I found about storms is they really only affect you externally. Internally they can not touch you. So anytime you are going threw a storm you need to make sure internally you are strong!!! Get connected to the Weather Man!!!Go threw your storms with Faith and Peace!(Phillipians 4:7- And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.)No matter what storm you may be facing today know that it can NOT touch your core. Close your eyes, Take a deep breath,

computer CRASH

My computer crashed today for the 2nd time! There is a lot of frustration that comes with your computer crashing. How can I fix this quickly is my first thought. Why does this keep happening to me? I have so much to do, and I dont have time for this. Then, Im reminded of all of the computers I have been threw. Computers now a days seem to last maybe a couple of years. They are constantly getting viruses and Lord forbide if you drop the device.... It is just threw with life once you do that. Not only do computers crash, cars crash as well. I have had my fair share of cars. Some just died but at least half of them I crashed or someone else crashed into it. The common denominator behind all these crashes are people. How many things have crashed your life? How many times have people crashed your life? Most important question... How many times have you CRASHED your own life? Im reminded of The Lion King song. "In the Circle of Life... And it moves us all... Through despair and hope... Til we find our place... On the path unwinding.... In the circle... Circle of Life... The simple truth is this... Things CRASH, people CRASH, but our God WILL NEVER CRASH!!! As long as we live, we will have crashes but find it pure joy, because our Father wants you to be mature, complete, and needing nothing. (James 1:2-4) Your crashes are building blocks for your character. Next time something or someone crashes in your life, sing the Lion King anthem with a smile knowing that GOD created this circle, and once we find our place with HIM WE ARE IN GOOD HANDS!!!
