The eye of the hurricane

We all have seasons in our lives. Sometimes you have directed your path towards the storm or God may assist you on your way. It is so easy to dwell on all that you have lost or feel that you are entitled to somehow. However, we as Americans are some of the most selfish and ungrateful human beings on the planet. So while I sit here in my crumbling house, with all my credit cards maxed out, very little money in the bank, feelings very sick as usual with all of my ongoing health problems, and close relationships that are in turmoil....I will rejoice! I am in the eye of this hurricane called life. I have a house (even though it is looking like a border town around here) when so many have lost theirs, my children are healthy and safe, we... by some what can only be called miraculous way...always have enough for our bills, I still have both my parents here on this earth, I have a husband who is both faithful to me and the Lord (even though he drives me crazy lol), I have so many who love me when I am unworthy and selfish, and most importantly....I am alive! I don't know how long I will be granted the blessing of life...but I am prepared to enjoy it and relish the fact that I am here for my children. So as the world seems to be in a category 5 hurricane...I will dwell in the eye where I am safe, warm, and happy. I deeply feel that something of epic proportions is coming...NOW is the time to live. I need to take chances and do things that are outside of my comfort zone. I pray that the Lord keeps His hand of safe harbor over my decisions. Praise be to God.
