Caught in a Storm
I was sitting outside Crema having coffee with a friend today. The sun was shining, the birds were singing…you get the picture. Next thing you know, the wind has picked up and there’s thunder and lightening.
Sometimes storms just creep up unannounced and pour on you. The weather is unpredictable. Life is unpredictable. I got to thinking about how I’ve often been caught in a downpour that rocked my foundations. Trouble came unexpectedly.
What do we do when a storm rolls through? Who do we turn to? I”ve seen a few nasty storm fronts in my time and while they can be scary it can also be a time of, oddly enough, reassurance. God is in control. So as the rain, thunder, and wind pass in about ten minutes here in Portland I am reminded that I can often blow things out of proportion in my own life and that stormy weather is a season, just like any other. This too shall pass…
