We share knowledge of the storm.
In times of light and gladness we can almost forget that a storm is brewing- a perfect blend of our fears, heartaches, idiosyncracies, failures, or dashed hopes. A sudden wind hits, threatens to pull us under the current, and of course, we look for the Master to walk on the waves and put out His hand for our rescue.
Though the clouds are thick and it seems it will remain that way forever, the sunrise is coming again! We are a hopeful people, a resplendent people, a resurrected people! Experience has taught us that we are not exempt from pain, suffering, or tragedy. We are not even exempt from making mistakes! (At this I was especially disappointed!) But there’s hope! LIGHT PREVAILS. The blessing in the storm is that when its over we’re stronger, better. The blessing is that we get to draw nearer to Christ.
The Lord has set the world on an axis to show us that neither season is perpetual as long as we’re on this side of eternity. Day, night; cold, heat; light, darkness – all as the world turns. So the storm will come. And the storm will pass. The key is to keep our eyes on what’s positive. It’s raining, but God is an umbrella and a raincoat–He’s a bonnet for our heads, golashes for our feet–and no matter what comes, we will be all right.

Ebony I like what you’re doing with your blog. I guess it’s in the genes.
