I just received notification of the major storm that is due to arrive.

We have all been advised to charge phones and prepare for downed trees and power outages.

The OLD me would have been in a panic. I would have raged at God and The Universe for putting me through yet ANOTHER storm.

The me that has gone through the tornado is calm. I am charging phones, making sure my battery pack is charged, charging battery packs and getting my coffee station situated. There ARE priorities, ya know.

I have books to read and KNOW God is with me. Through EVERY storm and situation.

I am going to prepare extra pieces to keep all encouraged. NO storm shall keep me from keeping my promise: To love and encourage folk EVERY day. Every single one of them.

Be encouraged, beloveds. We got this. You CAN get through whatever life has thrown at you.

I am living proof that you CAN get through some terribly hard hard and STILL hold on to your faith, your hope and your joy.

I’m thankful I have not yet been able to find a job. I have been forced to dealing with feeling inadequate because I have not been able to come to the rescue of folk I love.

In fact, I find myself in need: Of love. Of care. Of finances. Of safety. Of security.

Growing up, I’ve had my share of “missed meal cramps”. Only those who have grown up with food having run out long before the month ended, will know of what I speak.

There have been days, where I have bathed the heavens, with my tears. There have been others, where I have prayed on creaky knees.

I have cried out. I have called out. Only silence has greeted me.

God’s Silence has been defeaning. At times, I feared it had defeated me. It didn’t. God was there. Waiting for ME to see HIM even when I could not see my way, see what He was doing, or hear His Voice.

Just the other day, beloveds, I told God it was okay. I was no longer demanding that He speak to me. I told Him I would join my silence with His.

I lay down. In silence. Just as Jesus lay down, in the boat, as the storm raged.

Lay down, beloveds. Be at peace. Don’t fear the storm. Prepare, yes. Fear, no.

Note: I have done all I know. I am prepared. Come storm. I do NOT fear thee.

This IS our year, beloveds. We are making it so. No matter what happens. We ARE going to happen in our lives! Get going! We got thangs to do.

In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He. I am preparing some extra pieces to keep folk encouraged in case I lose power. In any event, I shall be loving you in the darkness. Be encouraged. Send up a prayer for me.

One step.

One step.

One step.

You are loved.

You are NOT alone.

Keep on being…YOU!
