In the middle of a storm

I'm sitting here listening to the storm raging outside. I can hardly hear it over the radio, so I've no idea how bad the storm really is. Currently I'm still in the middle of my own little storm. I broke a dam in the midst of my storm yesterday. It flooded for a little bit at first and then it just got worse. Thankfully, today I am feeling refreshed even as the storm still continues on. I can not currently give out details as to the storm in my life, all I can say is that the main part involves a living situation and I reached my breaking point yesterday.

I must say that even with my storm going on, I have done my best to still be there for other people when they have needed me. I know God has been with me, keeping me at peace even with all of my stress. He really holds me close at times like these, I can feel His presence all around me. He helps me to understand others and explain things to others in ways they understand. I'm constantly being reminded to look to God for my needs, and I am seeing God everywhere I look. I see God in the leaves, the breeze, people's smiles...everything. Sometimes I stop just to think about how great God is that He made all of this. One of my new friends has told me that I take time to stop and see the beauty that most people pass by.

"I will lift my eyes to the Maker
Of the mountains I can't climb
I will lift my eyes to the Calmer
Of the oceans raging wild
I will lift my eyes to the Healer
Of the hurt I hold inside
I will lift my eyes, lift my eyes to You"
