Saturday's Stormy Beginnings

I have learned through the years to take the storms with life as they come, and draw even closer to our Lord, and Father in Heaven. Though I have been dealing with children's sickness over the last two weeks, I have learned alot about who I am , where I am, and what I need to do to get to where I am going. We have dealt with everything from all three children having the flu, one of them having a double ear infection, and one with pink eye! I have missed 7 out of 8 weeks due to someone in the house being ill. I have learned that no matter what, God is there! No matter how rough things seem on the outside, it is what happens on the inside that matters most.

Through the time off of school ~ with being home with the sickies ~ I have learned about my priorities, and why it is so hard to keep them in balance on a regular basis. I know what is important to me, but often times I pour more of me into one thing rather then balancing out my time, efffort, and attention. Balance is hard!!

The topic of "storms" came mainly from the weather. We were faced with some severe Thunderstorms this morning. It was a peaceful start actually. I am not one that gets disturbed by the noise, and the strong winds. If only it was easier to apply that to our day to day life. If only it was easier to remember that all the strong winds and thunder that comes at us during the stroms of life were no different then the stroms that come from the weather!! To walk in the same peace of knowing that storms do not last forever!

Movie Review:
Facing The Giants

I loved this movie. To be honest, I was very hesitant to watch it. I had read another review  ~ from a fellow blogger~ and now that I have seen it for myself I wish I wouldn't have given so much credit in my mind to that review! So.. I have to give my own!
This is a good movie for the entire family! The girls / ladies are all dressed modestly, Christ is the focus, and it helps to increase faith, hope, and strength! Definately a watcher!!

It's just splendid in here!! I love what you wrote about the storms. I too love them ((when the lightening doesn't freak me out.haha)) the noise doesn't bother me either and just by your interpretation of riding the storm...mmm, I truely wish I used that during our storms. But today I see exactly what your talking about and can use them when needed.

I'm so glad your here!!

The storms of life surely do rage at times, don't they?
God bless!
