Storms

"The lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"
- psalm 34

In today's society people beleive that the 'storms' we go through in life come directly from God. They say that he is punishing them for doing wrong. Apparently he is always the one to blame everytime a situation beyond our control arises. I dont beleive that storms are Gods response to sin, we live in a fallen world, we have been given a choice and the little choices we make every single day will determine our future and our storms. I strongly believe that storms are neccesary in life because they enable us to learn, to forgive, to move on, to become stronger. All the storms we go through in life have shaped us to be the people we are today.

"...it (storms) is the confirmation that we are flowers the lord has planted and he desires to grow and no matter how painful or inconvenient it is neccesary for the flowers beauty"
-Kirk Franklin
