~Things Change~

In life things change. We may or may not like it, but things change. Good or bad, things change. There is positively no doubt in my mind that everything happens for a reason.

People either change, leave or die, so that you (I) can learn to let go.  We all know that things go wrong and when there are righted we can take a deep sigh of relief.

I've heard talk of sand storms that continuously change directions. You change directions but the sand storms of life chase or follow you. Well sometimes the fate of life's issues or problems are like that.

Over and over you play this out, like some mind game with urgency just before dawn. Sometimes these storms can change the way you think and act.

Sometimes these storms can change the very essence of who you were, your life style, your mindset and even your financial status. But, some storms you cannot run from. Some storms you walk through and deal with the pain. The pain of decisions because you were thrust into it.

You may get cut and bleed. The sandstorms of life can clog your vision, but when you cannot see, you must feel your way through.

Why? Because this storm isn't something that blew in from far away, something that has nothing to do with you, but does it?

When these sand storms arise in our lives, our first instinct is to go into shock, get scared and cry. Which is okay and long as you get a focus. Some sand storms are allowed in our lives to strengthen us, to take us on a new journey, to let us see who we truly are. 

This storm is you. Something inside of you. So all you can do is give in to it, step right inside the storm, closing your eyes and plugging up your ears so the sand doesn't get in, and walk through it, step by step. 

Note: giving in does not mean you are giving up. This giving in means, you have excepted  what has happened, but not your mindset is in survival and conquering mode.

There's no sun there, no moon, no direction, no sense of time. Just fine white sand swirling up into the sky like pulverized bones. 

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.”

~Personal Victory~

But trust me, when a sand storm of this nature comes your way, you will have no choice then to focus on God, His Son Jesus and the ever presence of His Holy Spirit through prayer and praise to make it through!

I hope this reading makes sense to you. I've been there and no doubt will I will enter the Sand storms of live again. But this time you and I will be stronger!
