My life has felt a lot like a tornado lately. One thing after another has been happening and I haven't been able to keep anything straight. I think it is a good lesson that we can't hold on to anything in this world other than our relationship with Jesus.
Right now I feel like a leaf that is being carried by the wind. I have no idea where I am going or where I am going to end up. It is weird because one moment, I think I have a glimpse of what God is doing and where He wants me and then next, I am on a completely different page. I have had to learn to submit any dreams to God and allow Him to carry me. It is hard. Probably one of the hardest things I have done in my life. I feel like my entire life is having to be surrendered before God right now.
This is a good thing though. Usually after a tornado, we get a chance to clean things up...even though some things have been destroyed. I have a friend who lives in "tornado country" and a few weeks ago, the tornado got really close to her house. Thankfully, it didn't hit them.
In this season of my life, the tornado has hit. I have a choice though...am I going to be sad/mad/angry that the tornado hit OR am I going to choose to rise above and ask God to help me clean up the debris? I love the picture above because it gives such hope. No matter what kind of storm we go through and how much debris there is, there is still hope and promise in God, our savior.
