Storm Chasers Podcast/Blog
Everyone faces the storms of life. Sometimes we have the faith to be delivered from the storms instantly; sometimes we have the faith to walk through the storms.
No matter which route you take, you can be sure that God is right there with you. He will equip you and sustain you. He will give you the grace, the supernatural empowerment, to make it through. Maybe you are facing a storm and can’t quite see a way out. Maybe you’re not sure what the answer is. All you have to do is take it one step at a time by saying, “God, I know You have a good plan for my future.” “God, I am doing better today than I was yesterday.” “God, I know You are leading and guiding me.” With every step you take, know that God is doing a work in your life. Know that He is with you, and He will comfort you. Keep moving forward. Keep taking those steps of faith and keep walking through the storm into the place of victory He has prepared for you!

Take Off the Coat of Unforgiveness
Take off the coat of unforgiveness today. Release all the harsh feelings toward others and towards yourself.
There have been libraries of books and blogs written about forgiveness. Yet it is one of the major issues in people’s lives today. Holding unforgiveness in your heart will not hurt anyone but you. The person you need to forgive will not be affected. You are the one that is being poisoned while waiting for the other person to drop dead. They are living their life without a care, while you are frustrated, angry, mad and stressed out because of the unforgiveness you have boiling inside you. Release it today, release the poison today. Take off the coat of unforgiveness and never pick it back up again. Experience the freedom that comes from living forgiveness free. Become a giver of forgiveness. Give it away everyday and see your physical body react positively, your mind clear up and your spirit lifted.

Finding Balance
We have either seen or been the person that walks into a room full of people seemingly having it all together. Others in the room think we are arrogant, but we know we are struggling to be accepted.
Insecurities are present in all of us. Some have overcome a lot of their issues and are doing much better now. However, many are still smothered under the weight of their insecurities. When that person walks into a room and acts like they are just find and have all their ducks in row, don’t be so quick to judge them. Why think someone is conceded when they do appear to have their life in order? It is because we have insecurities that change our perspective. We are thinking arrogance, they are thinking just want to be accepted. There is a balance that we need to reach. Don’t just assume that because someone seems to have their life in order that they are arrogant. Make them feel safe with you, make them see that they don’t have to act any certain way to be accepted. When we do this, we then can challenge them to grow and mature into the gift that they have been given

The Mistake of Failure
The only way to never make a mistake or fail is to never do anything. Which is the ultimate mistake and failure.
When you have no idea what to do; do something. There will come a time when you wake up and realized that you lived your entire life; yet never lived. There are times when we have to just do something. Do something is not taking foolish risks, but there are times when we do have to step out in faith. I don’t recommend stepping out in faith into the oncoming traffic. Do something is a step of faith toward our purpose and destiny. So many people live with the fear of failure and that they will make a mistake that they do nothing. Doing nothing is the mistake of failure. This does not have to be you. I understand that we will make mistakes and fail at times, but we still have to do something. This world is depending on us to be the change necessary to make a difference.

Unload the Overload
Do you feel like you are overloaded today? Are you carrying too much emotion and mental baggage with you?
If so, then today is the day to release that overloaded feeling and let go to the emotional and baggage. When we are carrying around stuff inside that we should’t be carrying, we feel oppressed. This condition will not just get better. Those feelings will not just one day decide to leave you. We have to make the conscious decision to release all that stuff and never pick it back up again. You may say it’s easier said than done, which may be true. However, it is harder to live with that stuff in your life than it is to get rid of it. It’s actually easier getting it out than it is keeping it out. Those emotions and feelings will do their best to come back into your life. Take that first today and get out from under that load. Experience the freedom of being free from those heavy, oppressive feelings. Clear your mind and your heart now.

Never Giving Up
There are days when you just want to stop trying, throw in the towel and give up. Nothing seems to be going right no matter how hard you try.
We have all heard and more than likely said, “It’s the darkest before the breaking of the dawn.” The time that most people give in is just before the day break of their breakthrough. Maybe I am the only one that feels like I am not going to make it. Maybe I am the only one that thinks, what’s the use. It’s not even that feeling of doing wrong, but even though I am doing the right thing, there seems to be no positive outcome. Maybe I am alone in this, maybe not. However, I have found that no matter what I feel, there is no giving up. I have seen circumstances and situations change in a second, over night. It may seem like the longest night of your life, but it will happen. You keep doing the right thing and never give up. God sees you and He has an awesome plan for you. Keep grinding it out and watch out; your day is coming soon.
