I tried my best to navigate through the rain by driving very slowly but it got so bad that I had to pull over. I've always found it a bit frightening to drive in the rain, when there is a huge downpour. It makes me really nervous and I would just rather be safe than sorry anyways. So I waited by the side of the road (actually the turning lane to a townhouse subdivision). We waited for about five minutes and I prayed while I waited. Once the rain cleared up some, I decided to try again and we were able to make it home safely.
Being caught in the storm got me to thinking about how in life we have all gone through major storms, or going through one currently or we are about to go through one. The funny thing about a storm is we might get some signs :thunder, lightning and even wind. But even with the signs, we cannot tell how badly the storm will affect us until we have gone through it. Some people are either bunkered in safely at home, while others are stuck in the midst of the storm. We don't know when we will be the one caught in the storm. The only sure thing we know is that we can count on Jesus. He will never leave nor forsake us.
I've been thinking alot about 2 people in my life who are currently going through the storms of life. My neighbor, Zack, who is currently battling leukemia. Yesterday marked one year since he was diagnosed. I've watched his parents drawn closer to God and I believe in my heart that God has worked a miracle for Zack and his family. I believe in Jesus. I know he CAN. I know with God nothing is impossible. Therefore, I am believing for Erik that he will get healed of lymphoma. His journey has just begun; he will start chemo tomorrow. They are in the midst of a storm and would appreciate all your prayers. Remember, God is able!
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall
lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19)
