Stormy promises...

Storms marched across our area last night and will continue through today. Yet summertime brings storms and we anticipate their arrival. It's the unexpected storms that seem most dangerous and relentless. Last November brought surprising tornado conditions to our area, which seemed quite eerie and overwhelming. Life also brings storms of expected and unexpected natures. We know they will occu...r. Yet some seem to blindside us with absolutely no warning. Sometimes I cling to hope quite firmly during life's storms. But other storms have a way of leaving me breathless and broken. I didn't see it coming. My hope is shaken. My heart is broken. My breath is taken. I love Psalm 139, especially verse 7. "Where can I go from Your Spirit? Where can I flee from Your Presence?" I am thankful that wherever the storms may toss or entangle me, He is with me. He knows where I am. He holds me. He doesn't abandon me. What a difference that makes as the winds blow, the rain falls and the thunder roars. I am never alone...and I am grateful.♡~thl
