IN THE EYE OF THE STORM, HAND-IN-HAND WITH CHRIST’S GRACE

On an ordinary day, my inner voice whispered that a “hurricane” was coming. It assured me that I was strong enough to face it. A few months later, the storm arrived—followed by a tsunami and an earthquake. It was a relentless month of upheavals, one after the other. While I did eventually endure, my healing didn’t happen overnight.

Hurricanes are unpredictable. They change course, speed up, slow down, and wreak havoc without warning. Their only certainty is their destruction. Yet, in the midst of that chaos, the eye of the storm is calm—a place of peace and stillness.

There’s a saying: “After the storm comes the calm.” But I believe, “THROUGH the storm comes the calm.”

When we face life’s storms, our instinct is to flee. Fear overtakes us, and we scramble to escape the chaos. But no matter how fast we run, we can’t always evade the storm. So, we live in fear, bracing for the next blow.

But what if, instead of running, we turned toward the storm with FAITH? What if we confronted it, knowing that JESUS CHRIST is there with us, offering His GIFT OF THE ATONEMENT…  with GRACE, LOVE and FORGIVENESS? Trusting that in the heart of every storm, Christ offers a calm that only He can provide—a peace that surpasses all understanding. What if, by facing our challenges head-on and hand-in-hand with Him, we healed and expanded into our true potential?

We can’t avoid life’s storms, but we can heal through them. We heal by mending our hearts with SELF-LOVE, FAITH and FORGIVENESS. And most importantly, we heal through our connection to Jesus Christ. He is our refuge, our Savior, and our guide through every storm. Through His grace and love, we can find peace, even amidst the most difficult challenges.

It may feel like stepping into the storm brings only more chaos, but the truth is, it’s the most direct path to peace. Staying outside the storm, consumed by fear, keeps us stuck—vigilant, afraid, and paralyzed. But when we walk with Christ, we can face anything.

The moment I chose to face the storm and heal my heart, hand in hand with Christ, I found the calm at its center. With Him, I discovered a profound inner peace and calmness.

But let’s be honest—it’s hard. It’s hard to turn toward the storm. It’s hard to trust that the calm exists in the eye of the storm. But with Jesus Christ, I promise you: it’s worth it. HEALING OUR HEARTS, WITH HIS LOVE, IS WORTH IT!

I want to share with you how I embraced this truth and how you can, too. How to face our storms—not with fear, but with FAITH in the One who calms the winds and the waves. I will dive into what it means to walk hand-in-hand with Christ, to heal our hearts with His GRACE, and to find the peace that only He can give. I invite you to join me on this journey, where we’ll learn how to break through fear, surrender to God’s will, and trust that the calm we seek is already waiting for us in the center of the storm. Let’s walk this path together—toward HEALING, PEACE and the fullness of OUR GOD-GIVEN POTENTIAL.
