Hold On
Winds have always blown
in beauty and terror
testing strength
against strength
opposing fiercely
until the moment when
fear (embraced)
subsides
in the eye of the Beholder
peace comes
and what you thought
was weakness
is Strength disguised
in you
not of you
holding fear away

Oh, how unusual for me to be late! I'm joining others at Faith Barista... click right here to see other's Autumn posts.
As Fall arrives, the winds blow, leaves fall, colors change, temperatures change. I cannot help but see there is a direct correlation to my life and faith season of Autumn. Changes, yes. In our imperfect life, the winds of many challenges are blowing in our family. Our children are leaving our home, (hair) colors are changing, physical changes, health changes, etc. (and yes, temperature changes!) Changes I ordinarily would fear, I am choosing to embrace. Living within change, I am finding God's strength in embracing the storms, not fearing them. Is He the calm at the eye of your storm ?
