Hurricanes in Life

Okay, you'll have to forgive another post on hurricanes. But they've been on my mind recently.

This is not a post on an actual hurricane, however. Just thoughts on life.

Isn't it funny that sometimes life throws you a hurricane? You're be-bopping along and you see it. A thundercloud on the radar. Perhaps it's just a storm, perhaps something bigger. And you start preparing.

The little rain cloud gets bigger.

Soon it is an overwhelming storm, buffeting you from all sides, dragging you from everything comfortable and showing you what REALLY matters in life. What you MUST have, at the barest minimum, to survive.

There are eyes in those storms, too. Pockets of peace where you're reminded that God is still in control. I'm in that eye now, just as a physical hurricane threatens my physical safety. In fact, it may be because of that physical hurrican that I am in a spiritual eye.

I'm not sure that the storm is over. But I do get a merciful break from the constant hammering for a little while, at least.

Thank you for your continued prayers for all this mess.
