When a Storm comes.....

When a Storm comes

 

When a storm comes you are either prepared or your taken by surprise.  When a storm comes you take shelter or you face it head on.  When a storm comes you can let it destroy and change you or you can pick up the pieces, rebuild and move on. 

 

What storms you have survived and lived through are the very events that have molded you into what you are today.  Did those storms destroy you or make you stronger?

 

If you survived your storms standing tall you are an inspiration.  If you have let the storms destroy you, they in turn destroy or affect those around you.  What ever the case, you are either an influence or example of something positive or negative to those that you meet, to those that live with you, to those that are your friends and your community. 

 

We are never ready for a storm.  Even if we know it’s coming.  We tend to hunker down and hope it passes safety and often it does.  But what if it does not pass us unharmed?  What then we do is an example of our character and our resolve as a person or people. 

 

Life is not a fair place to live in but it is often only as fair as we set ourselves up for it to be. We tend to feel the need and have the belief that we are owed something or deserve something.  Neither of these are true statements.  We are only owed or deserve something that we set ourselves up to deserve.  It’s called setting a goal and reaching it.  No one else can reach your goals for you, only you can do that, but you can waste your life throwing a pity party thinking such things.    

 

Life is a roller coaster of ever changing events, all of which are totally out of your control but it can be nudged in the direction of your desire.  Often the direction you head has stops along the way with detours around things you didn’t see, but it’s the journey to your destination that will determine you resolve.

 

What is resolve?  It is quite simply your desire to accomplice something bad enough.  Lazy and resolve are like oil and water.  You can not weather a storm or reach a goal without resolve and Lazy just results in you being lazy and feeling like you are owed or deserve something.

 

Next time you have a storm coming your way, get out your rain suit, your umbrella, your muck boots and clean your yard up.  Move forward, and continue on toward your goal.  Because just like no one else will stand before God on your behalf, no one else is going to see you reach your goal.  Yes, people will support you, but most secretly would rather you fail.

 

Let your Liberty prevail.
