Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experiences
~ Soren Kierkegaard

What do you do when life’s storm keeps pushing against you and you feel like you are at your wit’s end?

Recently, one of my southern warrior sister-tribe, sister, Dawn D. Totty who is an award winning designer/stager was on her way to yet another interesting assignment. She loves the path to the family’s house that she took the picture to share just the serenity surrounding her as she drive towards the house.

I was instantly captivated by the picture and immediately asked if I had permission to use it. That same day, another southern warrior sister-tribe sister, Marlas Triplett-Sells, “Our Teacher-Preacher sister” and her husband Robert Sells were on their way to Indiana for July 4th (independence day) celebration here in the United States. Well, she too sent me a picture. This time it was a picture of them pushing through the storms to get to their destination.

Of course, you guessed right, I loved that picture too and asked for permission to use it. As I began to enjoy the scenery represented on both pictures, then it suddenly dawned on me… this was a life parable for me.

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rick, a tragedy for the poor.   ~Sholom Aleichem

The same day, two different people had two different experiences!

There is an incredible wisdom nugget embedded in these two pictures about life… I am just excited to share my wisdom nugget with you, in the hopes that you will receive strength, your hope will arise with determination and intent, and you will press through to your promised land, just like the couple in the “raging storm” pressed through to get to their destination.

So, what does it look like when the storm of life is raging and you have to push against it? What emotions are elicited in you when you begin to hear the rumblings of thunder and lightning, with the storm threatening to disrupt that which you have or are building?

For those who push against this raging storm, those who refuse to back down but summon the courage needed to stand up and keep moving but most of all, those who are doing what God has instructed them to do at this season… you need not fear!,

Do not fret! Only stay focused on the journey and destination which lie ahead. For those who do not compromise and are not distracted…those who do not allow the raging storm to make them fearful but fierce enough… tired enough with the storm… push through… There is a plush reward on the other side of the storm.. the plushness of God’s creation…. His promise for your life awaits you.

Your battle is over. You just need to ride the waves of the storm till you reach your destination, just like Marlas and her husband did on their way to Indiana.  And the plush answer, which awaits you on the other side, will bring so much clarity in vision. Dawn drove through the woods… the greenery was certainly captivating. While the road on the first picture, where Marlas and Husband, Robert drove through… it was foggy and the highway began to disappear as they pushed through. However, in the second picture with Dawn, the path was made succinctly clear with no room for error. For those who are called and chosen, accepting of their calling have the tenacity to press on, YOUR CALLING SHALL BE MADE CLEAR AND FIERCE.

My Lessons of the Day:

(1) Recognize and discern when the enemy is putting things in your way to stop you from your destination;

(2). The storm if it was want to destroy us, will only have that power if we hand over our power to it by giving up;

(3) No matter how terrible a life storm is… IT WILL PASS, if we hang in there;

(4) Distraction and/or lack of focus is EVIL. Flee from it;

(5). Never, never, never give up regardless of the raging storm;

(6). Our Creator has promised us a final destination… a place where there is so much serenity… a place where abundance is the order of the day;

(7). He has given us hope, restoration… everything that was stolen will be returned back a thousand fold.

Until Next Time,
Be Inspired, Be Motivated, be Of Sentimental Value, Be Authentic
