Good morning…
To process a variety of feelings in our therapeutic community group, we used a deck of thought-provoking cards. I had never before seen “Storm Journey” cards, and I found them quite intriguing. Each creative image, which connected to a single word, was designed to spark meaningful conversation. “We belong in a story of hope,” read the tagline on the back of the box.
Week by week, as a small group, we process our journey through life together.
As we went to clean up the cards, we noticed that they were numbered one through twenty-six. As a group, we lined up the cards in order and an intriguing pathway through the storm emerged. Grouping the cards together, they became like signposts for our journey through life-changing transformation.
1. stability
2. threat
3. resistance
4. welcome
5. storm
6. saved
7. lost
8. busy
9. trying
10. fail
11. surrender
12. insight
13. response
14. flight
15. kindred
16. circle
17. wings
18. sent
19. touch
20. return
21. inspire
22. whole
23. gather
24. story
25. rise
26. change
Now take a few quiet moments to study these words and images.
Where might you find yourself on our hopeful journey from 1. stability to 26. change?
A good road will be there, and it will be named “God’s Sacred Highway” (Isaiah 35:8a, CEV).
