The Eye of the Storm

I've always loves music. Emily's songs have inspired me, so I am starting to put some of my experiences to music. Here's my first song. Enjoy!

Inspiration behind “The Eye of the Storm”

During the fall of 2017 I experienced a situation that challenged my core. As I was crying to the Lord with heartache and anguish, I heard these words that were strangely comforting, “You just went over the wake of a speedboat. You are leaving the harbor and going into an ocean storm. Stay in the eye of the storm where it is peaceful.” 

. 

In an ocean storm, low pressure in the eye means the storm is likely strengthening. The eye of the storm is the center, and lower pressure there indicates a more intense storm with stronger winds. This is because the air pressure difference between the eye and the surrounding eyewall (the area of strongest winds) drives the storm's circulation. As the storm intensifies, the air in the center begins to descend, creating a relatively clear and calm area – the eye.

The harbor of popular opinion seems safe, but riding on the wake of others’ opinions causes doubt. As storms of life rage, the most calm and peaceful place to be is in the eye of the storm. This is where God is found.
