Here is today's podcast in blog post form. :)

We have many earthquakes here in Reno, NV.  When my family was here visiting for Christmas, we had a 4.4 earthquake.  It was quite hilarious really.  My husband yells out from the bathroom – “Did you feel that???”  At the same time, both of my sisters were texting me – “Was that an earthquake?  Everything shook!!”

Well, my four daughters, niece and myself looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders.  We didn’t feel a thing!

In fact, Reno has had 133 earthquakes in the past 365 days.  And I didn’t feel one of them.

You see, these internal fault lines have always been there.  And these earthquakes have been going on all this time.  Without really no effect to most of us.

Let’s now think about the internal fault lines in our personal lives.  Maybe we don’t know they are there – nothing has ever surfaced to really even have to make us face them.  But there may be times in our life – that the big one happens.  Revealing those internal fault lines that have been there all this time.  Now…we have to face it.  Our world has been shaken.  What are we going to do about it?

We can fall into the crevice that the earthquake has created in our life and stay there.  We can let ourselves fall into depression and disillusionment and never recover.

Or we can get up, receive forgiveness and with humility, go on with the strength from the Lord.  Just because a fault line has been revealed does not mean it has to be your downfall.  It just means that now you know what you are facing – face it with wisdom and the Lord!

So today’s challenge is:  As the ground may shake in your life today, whether small or big, face each tremor with wisdom and the Lord.

Will you take the challenge?
