We Have All Types Of Storms In Our Lives
Some types of storms are more complex to navigate than others. How we weather a storm reveals a great deal about our personality. Storms in your life will bring you down, but you must get backup and rise against them. If you let a storm in your life define you, you are not in control; the storm is in control, and I refuse to allow a storm to control my life. God knows we will have many storms in our lives, and he helps us rise above them and move forward.
Loss Of A Loved One
This is the worst kind of storm. People have days when they break down and cry when all their fond memories come crashing down all at once, like an avalanche. I try to remember what one woman told her children before she died. She told them If you cannot remember me with a smile, then don’t remember me at all. She also told you, You are crying for yourself, not for me. She said she would be in heaven and have no more pain and suffering as she was dying of cancer.
A Divorce
Some divorces can be settled amicably, while others are a total battle over who gets custody of the children, house, money, and even the family pet. One judge told one couple he could divide the dog in two to let them know how ridiculous they were getting in the divorce settlement. It worked, and the husband allowed his wife to keep the dog, as it was hers before their marriage.
Weather Storms
It is horrible to lose all of your family pictures and other heirlooms in a tornado, fire, earthquake, or other disaster. Losing a family member in a storm is the worst type of loss. A house, furniture, and trinkets can be replaced, but loved ones cannot. Disasters can strike at any time, so always be prepared to take shelter and get out of harm’s way if at all possible. Pray to God to help you navigate all types of storms you encounter daily.
Financial Burdens
It is challenging for families with minimum-wage jobs to make ends meet in today’s society, where prices are skyrocketing. Some people work 18-hour days and can barely afford their rent, utility bills, food, medicine, and other essential expenses. As a result, some people end up getting a divorce due to financial burdens, living out of their car, sleeping in parks or in warm areas such as warming shelters, or lying on top of heat grates.
We Must Make It Through Storms And Come Out Stronger
Health scares will eventually happen to all of us, and how you handle that will determine how long you live. If you think you will die, you will. If you think you will survive, most likely you will, as one can kill oneself off with worry alone. One Doctor told another person that I cannot save that man because he is determined he is going to die from his disease. Everyone needs purpose and meaning in their life. God made you for a specific purpose, and it is your mission to complete God’s purpose. Remember not to let anything break your stride; you have to keep on moving now, like the old song lyrics from years ago.
