Navigating the storms of life
Last month, just as we were about to head off with our car all packed to the brim, we received a call that our long-awaited camping trip was cancelled. A bad storm had brought trees and power lines down which left the park with no electricity and running water. We were bummed at the news especially as it had been a difficult week and we were really looking forward to a getaway as a family. But through a generous family friend, God instead provided a stay at their beautiful beach house right on the bay. It was actually much more relaxing than camping... what we really needed! The wise owner of the house had a different perspective on what happened than us. He said that it was actually “good timing” that the storm hit when it did. For if it had come while we were there, not only would it had been dangerous but our camping trip would have sadly not happened anyway and we would have had to pack up and leave! The difference between seeing the glass half full vs. half empty. 🥃 Storms were
