TAYLOR SWIFT! 

 

As you know, Taylor Swift rolled into Nashville this past weekend and did 3 outdoor concerts, and each lasted three and a half hours! It was an incredible show! 

 

Before the Sunday night concert, big storms rolled into Nashville and delayed the concert for 3 hours due to “lightening protocol” at Nissan Stadium! However, Swift did not disappoint her fans as she did her entire show…which ended at 1:30 AM this morning!!

 

The thing I admired most was the loyalty and endurance of her fans…they rode out the storm Sunday night! Many, if not all, were drenched to the core…but they didn’t care! They knew what they were about to experience and there was no giving up and going home!  The reward was worth waiting out the storm, no matter how strong it was. They had their eyes on something greater on the other side of that storm!

 

That event leads me to a few reflective questions to ponder:

 

• What would it be like if we were as determined as the “Swifties” when it comes to the Storms of Life?
• What would it be like if we endured the pain and problems (storms) that we face, knowing that what was on the other side was greater? 
• Where is our endurance to ride out those storms?

 

One thing about storms to remember: Storms of life, like storms in the skies, always roll in, but they also always roll out! Depending on how we handle it, we can become greater on the other side!

 

Don’t forget that there is One who stands in the middle of the storm, and at the right time, speaks “Peace” into our hearts!

 

Have a great storm enduring week!
