STORMS OF LIFE


Sometimes life can take an unbelievable turn.  Things that happened you never could have imagined.  Loved ones turn on you, friends giving advice-good and bad.  Family offering to help. A Church that stands behind you and gives you encouragement and love.  Others just shocked at it all.
You end up changing your plans for your life.  You do what the Lord has called you to do.  Understanding or fixing it is not what you are asked to do.  
The Lord has asked you, to be the one unchanging thing in their lives.  To remain faithful to Him and not ask questions but to trust and be there for innocent ones caught up in the situation.  To be the same as you have always been.  What is the same.  A faith in my Lord and Savior to get us through and show us "His" way and not our own.  To be there for them when they do not understand, showing them your love for them never changes, your devotion to them never changes, and you will help them in any way you can to get them through and on the other side of it-turning to Jesus Christ the author of our faith.

Awesome post mom! So true, understanding our circumstances and fixing it are not in our possession, if we have given everything to God. He is in charge and it is in His timing. When He has taught us what we are to know and has taken us on the journey He has set before us, then He will, if it be His will, fix it and help us to understand it all. Maybe fixing is not part of the journey? He knew the circumstances, He knew our actions before we acted, He now knows what our futures hold and He is directing! I think that is exciting! All can be broken when man is in charge but nothing is broken when He is in charge and we are following HIM! Check out this verse and post.... Isaiah 42:16 “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know,
In paths they do not know I will guide them.
I will make darkness into light before them
And rugged places into plains.
These are the things I will do,
And I will not leave them undone.”

Even when we do not know the path ahead of us...He is guiding us and giving us a life full of blessings and promises!!!!
