STORMS

It sure is pretty difficult to look for the good in the pretty bad things we go through.  Right? Don't you hear people say to you when something bad happens something like, " oh well at least this or that isn't  ........ or didn't happen or how about probably one of the most popular picker uppers " At least You Are Alive!"

Well, yeah I agree it's great to be alive don't get me wrong.  However, let's be honest I would think when we are going through one of life's storms, seeing the good in the situation would probably be the last thing on one's mind. Am I right?

Ok, I am going to use myself for an example of looking at the good in a bad storm in my life.  Ok, The big bad storm aka having Multiple Sclerosis. EWWW, right?  Ok, I'm gonna skip the elaboration of all the bad things I have to go through with this illness aside from the shots.  Maybe, you can either talk to me more for more detail or just let your mind wander or do research.  Or, think nothing of the subject again and just drop it? Whatever your heart desires. :) But, for me I have to say I hate the shots! Actually, let me just say that sometimes, they aren't that bad...anyway....

Now time to pick out the good from this bad storm.  Not only, do I hope this is helpful to you, but I think I kinda need this right now, to lift my spirits up as well.  Ok, well this disease is not deadly. That's definitely a plus.  Next, I have really fun, good and wise doctors.  I am definitely blessed with means to take really good medication for this illness.  I am so thankful for my family and friends. Although, it's a downer for me that I do not drive anymore, at least I have transportation by Pace called Paratransit that will bring me places for a minimum fee. The Lord created me to be a people,person, so I would say I am definitely utilizing my people skills with all the new people I meet. The medical people and the paratransit drivers, people I meet also with MS, etc.  I really hope all the new people I do meet get touched by my words and presence,

See, guess it's not that bad when I target the positives of this disease.  I guess everyone goes through storms in life right?  But, try to focus on the good stuff and it changes your attitude maybe just a little but for the good. BELIEVE ME, IT HELPS! I believe that God allows these storms for His purpose. And, we just have to trust and have faith that eventually we will see past the storm and bask in the daylight!  Here is a verse that is a great reminder that God works for the good of everyone who loves Him!

We know that God is always at work for the good of everyone who loves him. They are the ones God has chosen for his purpose, (‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ CEVUK00)
