A storm is any disturbed state that affects your well being: physically, mentally or spiritually. Storms generally lead to negative impacts to lives and property. A storm may be marked by stress, lack of sleep, irritability, anger, fear, distrust, anxiousness, or apathy to name a few. Some examples of “ storms of life” are fear,health problems (yours or others), divorce, addictions, poverty, unemployment, loneliness, depression, and disasters. However, sometimes “storm” systems can alleviate drought which would not be possible otherwise. For example, you experience a “storm of the soul” caused by one system or many and you turn to God for comfort, for answers, thus relieving your “drought of the soul “when you soak in t he living waters that Jesus longs to give you.
This is the image of a 2005 painting by Leo Hone ( Shari Magno) and it is titled He Noho Kou I Ko'u Wa'a ( You have a seat in my canoe.)
" This is my Hawaiian version of angels. At some point in our lives, we all have experienced that 'middle seat'. We are not alone."
