When the Storm Clouds Roll In

These last few weeks have been hard. 

There, I said it. 

I don’t know why it is so hard to admit that. 

I’m certainly not wonder woman (although I did totally love her cuffs), and Lord knows I don’t have it all together, but for some reason it is so hard to admit that the storms sometimes knock the wind out of me.

The storms have been beating wildly and often lately, 

just as soon as I come up from air from one, 

the next one rolls in, and yes, I cling to Him and His promises…

but…if I am completely honest, 

this girl just needs a break.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could do that…

Pause – the kids can’t get any older

 Pause – my hair wouldn’t be gray

Pause – the good days would linger on and on

Unfortunately that’s just not our reality, so we learn to live in the storm, hoping, waiting, praying for a new day full of sunshine and blue skies.

So here I am in the midst of the storm, clinging to my life preserver and resting in His promises. I don’t know if you are in a storm right now too, but here are a few verses that I cling to when the storm clouds roll in.  

I pray they bless and encourage you as you wait for your sunshine and blue skies kind of day!
