"Dare You to Move . . ."

Life isnt about waiting for the storm to pass. . . sometimes its about just being able to step outside, stare up at the sky, and in spite of all your frustrations and fears . . . just start walking. ''Weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning." But, what I do all night long, while Im weeping and wondering why, just might change everything. Is it wrong to be confused? to wonder why? to question God? to sometimes just break down and lose it? Not at all. God is a big God. I know that sounds so cliche, but it that statement is more true than truth itself. We serve a God that can take all of our troubled, unanswered, cynical questions. . . and not only answer them, but in doing so, draw us closer to Him. . .the very one we were questioning to begin with. So is it wrong to feel like the world is crashing down? Not at all. . . .But keep walking. Nothing is easier to hit than a stationary target. So, while I am waiting for the joy to come, if I stay sitting where I am, Satan will have the time of his life making me miserable. 


Sometimes life isnt about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning how to get up, and push through all the doubts and fears that are clouding your mind, and just start walking. Sure, you'll get drenched and soaked through to the bone with all the things facing you. . . but thats the point. Now move forward, push through, press on. Look up at the sky and scream at the storm, let your voice be drowned out by the sound of the thunder, and the crash of lightning.. . . but at the same time remember that the storm your walking through is just a breath away from being drowned out by a whisper of Him that created it. Sometimes, life isnt about waiting for the storm to pass, its about learning how to get up in the middle of it. . . . and just start walking.
