I imagine her waiting, hoping and believing things would change. Her patience being tested as she witnessed the evidence of the wind blow against the sails of other boats in the same waters. How long did she stand there, watching, rocking with the waves but going no where? She's in the storm of her life and there's wind...but it's not going in her direction.
Have you ever been there?
Her strength is not revealed in the fact the wind did not "blow her way". We all have experienced disappointments. But her strength is simply stated that "she stood".
She stood.
She stood in the storm and sometimes that's all you can do is stand, with your head held high, watching, waiting and being vigilant.
I have certainly had my share of storms. Life has happened to me in zigzags, curves and choppy tidal waves. Sometimes simply staying afloat and riding those waves in your right mind, with a peace that is without understanding is a win. If you're in a storm, and the wind is not blowing your way, I encourage you to lift up your head, be grateful the wind is blowing and have the courage to adjust your sails.
Mantra:
I am strong. I am standing. I am going to make it!
All the best to you,
