Focus on God in the Storms
I just wanted to share this with everyone. As we were traveling to Florida for work/vacation, it took us 20 long hours. The van camper we were delivering kept breaking down on us, we had no a/c, and did not discover that until we got in Georgia. I had two little ones and our two dogs with us. Then on top of all the trouble to get to our destination, it started storming. It was raining so hard, lighting, and thundering. I do not like those kinds of storms at all. Then as I am driving down I-95 Florida bound, I remembered what our Pastor had said that Sunday. That during our storms we need to not focus on the problems (no a/c, whinning babies, two hot dogs, and the van breaking down), but to focus on HIM in the storm, and He will show you the light at the end of the tunnell. So, I was like ok, God, I am looking straight ahead, as I was driving over the bridges, could not see the car in front of me, and driving towards the lighting bolts. I am focosing on YOU LORD,not my circumstances right now, please get me to the end of this storm safely. Before you knew it the skies opened up and I saw the light past the strom we were driving in. I remind myself of that daily now, that things will work out and not focus on the problem, but focus on God.
