As I type this at this moment (real time), I am trying to find something in which to share. I have much to share and nothing at the same time. It is an extreme feeling of calmness. Yes, there are many situations that I am dealing with and concerned about AND I HAVE SUCH A SENSE OF PEACE ABOUT EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. This calmness that I am speaking of was once unnerving. I lived my life waiting on “something bad” to happen. It was too calm and nothing was happening (calm before the storm).
I am learning that calm in many cases IS CALM. I AM LEARNING TO LIVE IN AND WITH THE PEACE and the JOY of the LORD. Like many, the storm/storms have uprooted me out of places of comfort and conveniences. I suffered much damage and loss due to the storms. I cried more than it rained during the storms.
I became astute in STORM RECOVERY. My life consisted of constantly recovering from the storm. I was not really enjoying life because “SOMETHING” had happened and “SOMETHING’ might happen AGAIN. I may need HOLD ON TO these RESOURCES because “SOMETHING” had happened and “SOMETHING” might happen AGAIN. I didn’t laugh and really didn’t smile because “SOMETHING” had happened and “SOMETHING” might happen AGAIN to make me WEEP AGAIN.
I don’t have to simplify “THE STORM”. It is that perpetual state of “WHY GOD?”, “WHEN GOD?”, “HOW GOD?” Whether the questions that were being asked were about health, finances, children, personal or professional relationships, social issues and injustices, they were still “WHY GOD?”, “WHEN GOD?”, and “HOW GOD?”. “THE STORM” TAUGHT me, REMINDS me to TRUST GOD.
I AM NOW BECOMING ASTUTE IN STORM PREPAREDNESS. I NO LONGER FRET WHEN “NOTHING” IS HAPPENING. I AM LEARNING HOW TO BLESS THE LORD IN THIS CALM. I AM LIVING IN THIS CALM. LIVING. LAUGHING AND LOVING. IT IS ALL BECAUSE OF GOD. I RECOGNIZE IT AS THE JOY AND PEACE OF THE LORD. THE WORLD DID NOT GIVE IT AND THE STORMS (SPIRITUAL GROWTH, HEALTH ISSUES, FAMILY ISSUES, FINANCIAL ISSUES) CAN NOT UPROOT IT AND TAKE IT FROM ME.
AND THIS IS WHY I CAN BOLDLY AND CALMLY DECLARE AND DECREE
“…NOTHING will separate ME from the LOVE of GOD which is CHRIST JESUS…”
