Have you ever looked at the news and saw a palm tree swaying back and forth in the midst of a storm? While this tree is swaying you see everything else flying by the screen cars, dogs, homes ect. All of these things break or die. The palm tree is still there through every storm. Why?

The palm tree unlike the other things I named has roots and is able to bend at the right moments. This allows it to be resilient and snap back after the storm. We have to be the same way when we go through our storms. Do you go through your storms this way or do you constantly break?

When we go through a storms, we must be able to bend at the right times. I’ve gone through the biggest storm of my life recently. The worst of the storm is over but I know it’s not totally over because there is still the clean up and repairs left. During the storm I altered a lot but didn’t break even though there were countless times that I honestly thought I would. I definitely know that I’m not the same due to the storm. I use to care about and over analyze everything to much. This never seemed to help me it only left me used or hurt.

I would over train trying to get everything perfect and would get injured. In my relationships on all realms I would be the person that gave my all to everyone. So many people call me there best friend or most dependable person they know, when I wouldn’t even consider them a friend. They seem to become spoiled by me and would be there for other who didn’t even deserve it. Since this storm I really don’t care about anything, which is totally not like me. It’s a sense of what will happen will happen I guess. For the first time I seem to be enjoying my life. I guess that’s me bending a little and not breaking. I’m still staying true to myself but just not stressing myself out anymore about anything.

I realized that if I were going to change things or people the way that I was, they would have changed by now. Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is called insanity. I think the roots in my storm would have been my relationship with God and true friends not letting me go as far as I would have liked to have gone. I’ve swayed a lot but still grounded. Will I ever be the same probably not? Will I grow and learn from it most definitely!I wouldn’t be Marshall Thompson Jr. if I didn’t!!
