I can see a storm coming


Myrtle Beach Tornado 2001 - courtesy Flikr.com
Read: Matthew 8:23-27
Hey replied,” yeah with little faith why are you so afraid?” Matthew 8:26

Strange Clouds

I saw the storm forming. The infamous tail dropped from the sky. First thought it was just strange clouds and not a storm. But within seconds the rotating column formed into a tornado.

“It’s a tornado let’s go!” The words I told my family as we hustled into the hallway of hotel.

In life, we don’t always see storms (troubles) develop. Often times we just wake up and “poof” we are in the midst of the storm! Just as the disciples experienced out at sea – suddenly a furious storm came…. Their first reaction was fear!

Peace in the storm

 This day I saw the storm form on the beach from our hotel room. My thought was the safest place would be the hallway and in the arms of God. Our room was near the lobby so all guest were ushered to the center corridor.  There was panic, fear, and people crying “what are we going to do!”
In the middle of this storm there was also peace. Groups of people, including me praying, praising, and asking God to protect us all.

No one Greater

Jesus told the disciples they had little faith. So does it mean when Christians have faith they should never be afraid? No! What Jesus meant was God is far greater than whatever storm faced. Learn to tell your storms that God is bigger rather than thinking of how big your storms are.  When we finally realize God is forever present it keeps fear at bay.

Lingering Storms

Tornadoes typically are quick storms but this one was like problems we often face – it lingered around. The twister formed in air, bounced from one hotel, to land, beach, back to land while hitting a couple of hotels.  

When problems linger hunker down and stay in prayer just as we did during our storm.

When the storm passed no one in our hotel was injured. What made this story miraculous we later learned that hotels north and south of our building sustained damage but ours did not.  The tornado bypassed our hotel. By facing the storm with God in the middle I believe he showed favor to all because a few took time to pray. 

Remember to pray without ceasing especially in your storms. Know that God’s presence can keep fear from paralyzing you.

Prayer

Father God I have faced my storms alone allowing fear to take control. No matter how bad my storms may be Father God you are larger than my situation and I praise you for keeping me covered.  Amen.

Grace and Mercy almost died

The 1993 Explorer a few days before the crash
Read: Job 1:6-12


And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” Job 1:12



I should be dead

I should be dead. The conditions were perfect for someone to die, but God intervened.

My mind’s eye often replays May 13, 1999. A sunny spring picturesque day until skies darken and the windows of heaven opened. Around 4:00 pm, a single cell thunderstorm burst through quickly dumping rain and high winds. Just as fast as the dark skies rolled in, so did a bright sunny day. The soaked roads and rush hour traffic made the conditions perfect for an accident.

While jockeying for space on the highway things changed from bad to worse. In my rear view mirror cars swiftly approached while the cars in front abruptly stopped. In the chaos, one clipped the left bumper of my 1993 Ford Explorer, propelling it into a 360 degree spin over four highway lanes.

It was a twister ride in slow motion but nothing was fun about it. I could see the faces in cars as I glided across each lane. My ride stopped when a van, in the HOV lane, T-boned me into the concrete median.



Grace and Mercy covered me

I should have been dead but it was the Lord that covered me – Grace and Mercy.

At the time of my accident I was going through a transitional period of seeking God and his wisdom. Satan knew it and did not want me to gain that knowledge. Once I realized how much God loved and protected me the life journey became more bearable.

God covers us

The first chapter of Job reminds me regardless how bad a situation may be God got me covered. No matter how much Satan dishes out God always has the final say.

I almost died that day. I never would have made it if God had not intervened. I often ponder what if May 13, 1999 was the day God said, “this day your soul shall be required.” My life as I known it would have ended. What would the world be like?

  • Missed the birth of my son – October, 1999
  • Preceded my mother in death – July, 2000
  • Missed uncovering my purpose – July 2007
  • Missed the launch of The Souls Remedy – April 2010
  • Missed daughter graduating high school – May 2011
  • Missed daughter realizing her purpose – December 2012
  • Missed son perform with high school band - May 2013
  • Missed song writing debut TheMusic Industry Camp – July 2013


The list can go on…

Count your blessings

I’m a firm believer that no matter how much Satan attempts to attack us God’s word still rings loud and clear. “Behold all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” Once we realize this Satan cannot touch us. We control our destiny provided we stay in the Will of God.

Do you really count your blessings? Being grateful for the little things of life; rising each morning, ability to walk, talk, see, and ear? We know not the day or the hour when our creator will require our souls. Are you ready? Have you given your life to Christ? If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9-13. And trust God at his word. It’s just that simple.



Prayer

Gracious Father, thank you for life. Thank you for the days given and the days before me. I apologize for taking them for granted because no day is promised. I will begin to praise and thank you for every blessing and day you have in store for me. Thank you for your Grace and Mercy. Amen.

When nothing seems to go right watch cartoons



And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose. Romans 8:28 -

When nothing seems to go right

Has there been a time when nothing seemed to go right? Your suffering has gone unanswered by God? You become a pessimistic, naysayer with no vision? Well, watch some cartoons. These animated characters can be great counselors!

As a child I enjoyed the humor and slap stick comedy of Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Wyle E. Coyote. As an adult I recognize the subliminal life lessons messages Warner Brothers offer.


Life can be loony and catastrophic

Life can be loony and catastrophic. When visions go awry or God appears far away people tend to give up and become naysayersLack of trust makes way for hair-brain ideas while faith fades to black.

Cartoon Land parallels reality and biblical times. Take for example Habakkuk who questioned God about his timing and allowing His people to suffer (Habakkuk 1:1-4). God is not on our schedule but He does show up right on time! It is how we approach each situation – with faith – which makes the difference.


Bugs Bunny:  The Optimist  

Regardless of his predicament Bugs Bunny was always cool, aware of his surroundings and had a way out in every circumstance. He never let ghastly situations get him down.  Even when his arch nemesis, Elmer Fudd, showed up with the intent to kill, Bugs Bunny escaped.

Philippians 4:13 reminds us “We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.” Bugs Bunny faced each situation as an optimist. Learn to speak God’s word and believe you can do all things. God will give you an exit plan!


Daffy Duck: the Naysayer

Daffy Duck was a boastful and cunning character who could be brash. Never speaking a kind word “you are dethpicable!”

Daffy Duck is like the people in the synagogue who laughed at Jesus when he told the crowd “The girl is not dead but asleep…”  Matthew 9:23-26.


Wile E. Coyote: The visionary

Despite is wily characteristics and poor quality gadgets, The Coyote never gave up. No matter how many times his ACME supplies blew up in his face he got back up, brushed is shoulders off and tried again!

The Centurion Captain’s faith was nothing short of visionary. The Centurion was not a Christian but because of the faith of his servant he envisioned Jesus could heal him just for the asking Luke 7:1-10.  Jesus was amazed at this man’s vision and because he believed the servant was healed.


Write it down

The Lord told Habakkuk to write down the revelation and make it plan on tablets. When situations linger take on the characteristics of Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote:  Wait on the Lord, be an optimist, be visionary, and believe God will provide an exit plan.

Prayer


Father God, I am not free from facing situations. Help me to grow in faith so that I will not be a Naysayer, give me your vision so that I can be an faith believing optimist. I will walk by faith not by sight and stand on your word: I can do all things through you because Christ strengthens me! Amen.

Good Morning! - Jesus is with you

Good Morning!






Jesus said He is always with us.





We often forget this & try to do things without him…. That is when we become lost.
