Sometimes, it seems like the storms of life just drag on and on.  Then, you think maybe things are settling down.  But then there's one more thing.  Sometimes, it's the one more thing that tips you over the edge.   You survived a major storm, but now, here you go again.  What can we do when one more thing pops up in our lives?

When you are in a storm of life, you deal with so many emotions, like fear, loneliness, and anger.  When the storm drags on, you may deal with discouragement or depression. So, what do you do?  How do you survive life's storms?

We all go through storms in our lives.  We're not talking here about natural storms: thunderstorms, hurricanes, or blizzards.  We all face storms of life: divorce, sickness, sorrow, or death.  It's like there is no way out and no hope.  You don't always know where to turn, but you definitely want the storm to end!  What should you do when you find yourself in a storm?

When you look at the title of this message, you may think, "I don't need any help making bad decisions.  I'm good at that on my own!"  But in this story from the Bible, we learn the patterns of bad decision making so we can recognize it in our lives and change our approach.
