Ahead of the Storm (Part 2)

 

 

Some storms pop up without warning out of nowhere. 

 

One moment the weather is fine and the sun is shining,

 

the next the dark clouds are rolling in,

 

the thunder roars and lightning streaks across the sky. 

 

There is little time to prepare. 

 

There is no time to prepare for this kind of storm. 

 

They blow in and blow out fast.

 

In our lives, we may experience some pop-up storms. 

 

They are the situations in our life that pop up without warning. 

 

One moment our life is calm and serene

 

and in a second the storm has come barreling down on us. 

 

There is no way for us to prepare for these storms. 

 

They may bring rain or a tornado one never knows or a small shower.

 

The only thing we can do is hang on and wait out the storm. 

 

Don't get me wrong,

 

they can wreak havoc but they rarely last a long time. 

 

Maybe you're in the middle of a swift and sudden storm. 

 

Hang on!  It'll pass and soon the sun will shine again. 

 

Until it does hold on to the rock that doesn't move.
