I felt that it would be appropriate to spend some time in thought and prayer for the citizens of the Philippines that are suffering because of the recent storm. Our lives are full of storms, many may be like the physical storm that is destroying homes and taking lives, others may be the inner struggle with decisions and direction in life. I think we all have dealt with such trials. The important thing to do during such hardships is to look to the eye. What I mean is, in a tropical storm, there is a circular disc of clouds spinning over the land, but the center is called the eye. The eye of the storm is a safe haven from the damage and chaos happening around you. In life, the eye of the storm is God. If we look to God, we will find peace and all the destruction surrounding us, will seem a lot easier to bear. God is the calm during the storm, the serenity during chaos. Look to God. Find your faith. Hold fast hope.
