Have you noticed that when a storm comes through sometimes it literally wipes out everything in its pathway? Families are devastated and lives are turned upside down, forcing everyone to create a new life and a different path as a result of the storm. It is easy to be so fixated on your goals and the path that you plan to take, that you overlook the opportunity that is staring you in the face. We need to learn how to let our storm become our pathway. All storms are not setup to take you out. Some storms are setup to take you further and higher than your infinite vision will allow you to see. I do my best work under pressure although I prefer not to work that way. However, when you are able to see God in everything then you learn how to operate in a state of calm while everyone around you are in a state of chaos. The sooner you learn the lesson the quicker you can get out of the class. Failure is not an option. This is not a test. This is a real emergency and life does not wait for you to get it together!
