I have this habit to always open my window to welcome more air (except when I use aircon) before I get to sleep.

Last midnight, I was really interrupted with my sleep. There's a storm and its raining very heavy. I started to feel fear because I see, hear and feel the strong storm outside thru my window. Add this fact that I am staying alone in this thousand-square-meter building (this isn't our house though).

I prayed and prayed and I told God that I am really scared. I told Him to please stop the storm. I told Him about everything that I feel that moment. Then I felt a bit fine. The rain have gone now. God answered my plea. yippee!

But after a few minutes, the storm began to be strong again. This time, it’s more. As the rain became stronger, my fear rose higher. The rain began to come inside my room. I prayed again.

Then, I realized to close the window. So I did. After that, I didn’t hear nor see nor feel the rain anymore. This time, I smiled because that three-second window closing can change what I've felt. And guess what? I’m not afraid anymore. :)

 

Sometimes, we just have to choose. Choose to close that window that makes us see, feel and hear all the storms in life. And we can have our fear no more.

We may not stop those temporary storms, but we can have our faith that will make us smile in the midst of it.

Faith is as simple as choosing to close that window.

Finally, I was able to continue my sleep. thanks to my one fine pillow Maker! ;)
