I first discovered the song "Eye of the Storm" this past Spring and every time I listen to it, I am reminded that in the very middle (the eye) of the storm - God is in control.
The title got me thinking about the 2 hurricanes and the tropical storm I got to experience during college. They are pretty scary ordeals - me being a Midwest gal. I remember the news telling us not to believe we were safe during the eye. That the eye was just a break from the madness and that the storms following - directly westerly from the eye - would be more powerful.
Trials are kind of like that. It seems like you are being hit from every direction and even a moment in the "eye" of it can be refreshing and we (I!) tend to let down my guard.
When my guard is down, I forget WHO really is in control. Some days I want Angie Good to be in control. Let me tell you - that is NO BUENO.
No matter the trial / the storm, God's got this. He's got the big things. He's got the little things. He has a divine plan that keeps leading us Heavenward.
Won't Heaven be lovely? I was thinking about Heaven yesterday. Thinking about the people I have known and loved who are now HOME in Heaven. It's so reassuring and comforting that our goodbyes are not for forever. In Heaven we will be reunited. We will be with our Heavenly Father.
He has a good plan. His plans are perfect. He is in control. When He guides and moves you, follow His leading and trust in His goodness. He's so very trustworthy.
I am choosing to trust HIM during this prompting to make changes. I'm a little nervous...not even going to lie but I know that HE wants me to do this. He's got this. He knows what I need and for this moment I am choosing to trust HIM and to not question.
Here are the lyrics to the aforementioned song....
When the solid ground is falling out, from underneath my feet,
Between the black skies and my red eyes, I can barely see
And when I’m feeling like I’ve let down by my friends and my family,
Between the black skies and my red eyes, I can barely see
And when I’m feeling like I’ve let down by my friends and my family,
I can hear the rain reminding me
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
When my hopes and dreams are far from me, and I’m running out of faith
I see the future I pictured slowly fade away
And when the tears of pain and heartache are pouring down my face
I find my peace in Jesus' name
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
When they let me go and I just don’t know how I’m gonna make ends meet
I did my best now I’d scared to death that we might lose everything
And when a sickness takes my child away, and there’s nothing I can do
My only hope is to trust You, I trust you Lord
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
When my hopes and dreams are far from me, and I’m running out of faith
I see the future I pictured slowly fade away
And when the tears of pain and heartache are pouring down my face
I find my peace in Jesus' name
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
When they let me go and I just don’t know how I’m gonna make ends meet
I did my best now I’d scared to death that we might lose everything
And when a sickness takes my child away, and there’s nothing I can do
My only hope is to trust You, I trust you Lord
In the eye of the storm, You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
You remain in control
In the middle of the war, You guard my soul
You alone are the anchor, when my sails are torn
Your love surrounds me, in the eye of the storm
