Solid Mooring

I find it hard to make time to do anything sometimes. Its like getting caught up in a whirlwind of life. You lose traction and like a lifeless scarecrow you get thrown around for quite some time. I do not necessarily believe this is so much a bad thing. If you begin to analyze your surroundings you will see how crazy and chaotic times do become with hurricanes, tornadoes, then those days of quite solace with the wind slightly blowing and the sun smiling with that bright toothy grin as you lay next to a glistening pool of crystal blue water. I think the thing to do when you get in these torrents is not to forget who you are. You do not forget that God is everything. You do not forget where you go for strength. Sometimes in our desperation for stability we begin to clinging to anything we can, and that can be more devastating than the storm we are in. You know what is a solid foundation and you know what isn't. If you are hungry your not going to drink gallons upon gallons of water, your going to find something like rice or a piece of steak to fill up your stomach. Water is good but it is not a solid to fill you up. You may have a lot of school work with papers and tests, but you need to stop and take time for yourself and take time out to be with God. I find myself trying to do nothing but school work and I start building upon a foundation that is not stable. Once I finish with my studies its like everything I had built upon that paper or test comes crashing down on me and then I begin to slowly suffocate under hours and hours of debris. Storms are good, and if you trust in the Lord you may realize that they can clean out an area of your life that has been badly polluted with junk. Start over rebuild upon the rock and know that foundations are meant to be shaken so that they can be tested even with the Lord. I think God likes proving himself to us as well. I think he loves it when a big storm comes and we cling to him. He then charges the storm to rage all around with the most horrendous mights but yet it can never even stir Him. Right now is a time of immense chaos and confusion. There's a thousand different plans to secure me in this life and each sounds as good as the next yet no clarity seems to present itself as the best possible route. Do not focus on the thing that is trying to take you away rather focus on the thing that is keeping you at bay. I would rather look and secure my position then look at a wave about to strike me. I know that if I make myself secure then it will be impossible for me to be blown away or thrown out to drown, and once the blast is over I can reemerge with all my strength in tack. So be still in the storm and look towards your surrounding and see what is going to keep you steady rather than what is going to change you.
