As They Move Through

The rolling clouds of life will bring thunderstorms that will blow your stuff everywhere if you’re not paying attention.

These storms are meant to disperse large amounts of wind, rain, and uncertainty as they move through.

The wind is the damage that happens when life throws unexpected things at you.

The rain is the tears that are shed as you realize things have been broken and will never be able to return to how they once were.

The uncertainty is just that,

How long will this storm last?
Will I survive?
Will it destroy me and my life? 
or 
Was this needed for me to realize something?

So, be on alert when a storm is fast approaching, for your survival will be determined by your ability to weather the damage as it occurs.

Remember the storm will always blow through, it may just take some time.
