"Are you hanging on?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

A tornado blew through the area I call home some years ago. It did millions of dollars of damage to property, but, thank God, no one was killed.

I remember listening to life with a friend one day shortly after, and she was telling me about being on the second floor of her office building, staring out the window while the storm blew. As she sat there staring out of the window, she noticed a spider hanging on the window for dear life, being blown all around by the strong winds. The spider hung on by a single thread. And my friend thought, “I sure hope that’s the right thread!”

Life has a habit of blowing up storms some times, doesn’t it? And you find yourself being blown around all of a sudden. Situations you didn’t anticipate blow up in your face and all you can do is hang on. And hopefully you’re hanging on by the right thread.

What’s the right thread? The right thread is the thread of knowing that you’re not alone as the storm blows up, that God is with you, giving you strength you didn’t know you have. So listen to life always, but especially in a storm.
