Storms may come, this we know for sure, tell me, can you stand the rain?
Friday I was driving and it felt like an elephant was standing on my chest, I was so anxious. I couldn't breathe. I called a friend. she asked me...
What are you supposed to be anxious about?
Nothing... Philippians 4:6 I know....
and she asked "isn't God the God of peace?"
I know Romans 16:20 (may the God of peace crush satan under his feet"
and I ugly cried about a lot of things going on in my life. I mean gut wrenching ugly cry.
After a mini retreat with friends I was able to talk and pray about some things (and be prayed over)
And on my way home it felt like a storm had passed.
I spent time with my family at a family party later in the day and we had left and I had given my soccer tickets away but I was pretty sure they were only going to use 2 of the 3 tickets so I text him and he had the extra ticket (and my parking pass 😂) so I went to the game.
It was a perfect night for a soccer game. until
lightning
Then big drops...
Then a storm...
Thankfully I made it to my car before the rain was coming down too hard.
The whole way home it rained and rained (which always makes me think of "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" and the rain come down you can listen to it here) and I was so thankful because I didn't have to water the garden because the rain did it for me :)
When I got my groceries off the porch this morning (thank you Kroger Boost!) the sky was clear. I thought storms don't last forever and soon the skies are blue again. Just sometimes we have to weather a storm or two and we just need to find the right shelter in order to survive the storm.
