Coming back again and again to this beautiful community gives me joy because it is a place where I call home.
Welcome back friends. Is another week and we have a very good topic for deliberation. Who loves Storm? I guess no one. If man will be allowed to choose what we want I believe that we will not choose Storm. Why? Because is not a pleasant situation. Sometimes we change from who we are to who we never thought we will be when storm comes our way.
I decided to check the meaning of storm. What is storm? According to Oxford dictionary, Storm is any disturbed state of the atmosphere causing destructive or unpleasant weather, especially one affecting the earth's surface involving strong winds (leading to high waves at sea) and usually lightning, thunder, and precipitation; a tempest. Looking at the definition alone one should be scared of the word - storm. But the topic says - Dancing in the storm. When storm comes your way, do you remember that there is anything called dance? Hahaha 😂. What a funny question. But I needed to ask that question because most times when we face the storm of life, difficult situation, trouble here and there, we easily give up our faith.
CAN WE DANCE IN THE STORM?
In the real sense, is very difficult for people to remember dance when they are going through hard times. What we normally do is to complain. We look for whom to blame for what we are going through. We look for how to say that God made a mistake. Sometimes we don't really say it our like that, but that is what our actions shows. That is the reason why some people go as far as taking their own life because they feel is a mistake to be born. But today this topic is opening my eyes to know that I can actually dance in the midst of my storm. Dancing in the midst of storm means that I will learn to be happy no matter what I face. The Holy Book tells us that weeping may endure for the night, but Joy comes in the morning. So, knowing that unpleasant situations don't last will help me smile when they come and not complain. Is just for a short period. It will soon pass away. Once I keep reminding myself this truth, it will help me gain control of my emotions and begin to dance even when I am sopposed to cry of weep all through.
WHERE DO I DRAW MY STRENGTH FROM?
From other people who have gone through such situations and survived. Some of them have their own ups and downs in life, but they never gave up.
From the word of God. God's word is a very great instrument that we can dare strength from. It has lots of words of encouragement that I can use to encourage myself. We need to daily draw strength from there.
By always looking forward. When we keep looking at the situation, it will make us complain and want to give up. But when we look forward and see a brighter future it will help us dance in the storm.
Okay, I think that this is where I will drop my pen and call it a day. Please 🙏 let me know what you think about this topic at the comment section and don't forget to always come back to check on me. Bye.
I want to draw some friends here to share their views on the topic for the week: @hivedeb, @chidistickz. Am waiting for you guys.

Many times some storms look as if they will through us off but as we have a deep meditation in God's word and more. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this
🙏🙏🙏
the truth of the matter is that,we need to put all our trust in God and wait for his intervention whenever we find ourselves in any Storm of life rather than to complain and worry because I know He will not abandon or forsake us for His great name sake for it pleased Him to make US His people.
Thank you for sharing.
Very correct dear.

I love your title, Weldon
No matter the though times we might be facing right now, we will surely overcome it someday
Psalm 30:4 got me through many years ... and is true ... those were some long nights, but God is faithful!
