Good Morning,
Last night I decided to walk home from my sons practice, God needed me to be alone with Him. I began to walk and noticed the wind was raging around me. It blew at me hard pushing me back as I struggled to walk. The sand pelted my face, and dry leaves raced by as I trudged on determined to make it on my own two feet home. The wind sounded like thunder a deep resounding howl that I had never heard before, and for a moment I felt as if I would be swept up in a whirlwind and taken away from the storm I was in. The funny thing is, I wasn't afraid, I was comforted knowing that even though this storm raged around me pushing me backwards and then pushing me forward, I knew God was with me. I have been reading Amos, Amos 3:3 to be exact "Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so." As I walked home with my Papa, He reminded me, I agreed to walk with Him, in and out of the storms of life. That He would be there to pick me up, carry me through, and push me forward. I may not see Him, yet I feel Him, I hear Him, I definitely want to know Him more. Sometimes I forget who I am, and what I was called to be, and do. It is difficult to trudge through the storms of life. You have children who become teenagers and suddenly you are no longer needed for a lap to sit on, kisses before school, stories at bedtime, and songs they once longed to hear you sing. You are the chauffer, the atm, and on the rare days mom who loves and understands. We have boys who once brought you dandelion flowers, wondering when they will become a man, will I always be a boy, mom doesn't understand, because she's a girl. Husbands who along with us struggle through changes, pre-menopause, menopause, teenagers. All of these things are storms, some small, some big, sometimes raging. Your Father in heavens wants you to know He is with you, He sees your pain, He knows your frustration, He is by your side, carrying you through pushing you forward through the storm. Remember, there is a prize, we all want to capture it, so run the race, you do not run alone, He is with you!
