Storms in Life

The weather channel says there's a 50% chance of snow, and that's enough to freak me out. What am I going to do? I can't drive in the snow—I've never had to. My husband always drove me to work or wherever I needed to go when it snowed. This is the first snow since he passed away.

Now it's starting to snow, and the ground is getting covered fast. I looked out the window, and tears started falling just as quickly as the snow. What am I supposed to do? Lose my job? I can't afford that! And it's just the start of winter. Winters in Western North Carolina can feel really long.

Why am I all alone, Lord? My husband was my protector, always looking out for me. He was my calm in life's storms. Then suddenly, I felt the Lord's presence and heard His gentle voice telling me He's my protector and I'm never alone. An indescribable peace washed over me. Wow, God really does listen to all our thoughts and words. I put my faith, hope, and trust in Him and He works all things out for our good.
