PEACE IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM

     The trials have been great over the last five days as we were making our way into the a new area, unpacking, and adjusting to change.There is something that has surprised me during the whole process.The Lord has given me the greatest peace in my life.The storms are raging and beating against me in every direction, but the vessel is steady. Steve even commented yesterday that he noticed a great peace in my life about the whole change of events.

     About ten days ago I read a poster and it said, "Don't tell God how big your storm is, tell your storm how big your God is. How true is that statement.  It was so true that I decided not to just read it but to apply it personally to my life.

     Earlier today I was thinking, "I must be in the eye of the storm where it is calm."  I know the storm is raging all around me, but I only feel the stillness and peace of God. 

     With this being said, I must also say a special thanks to all of my wonderful friends and readers who lift me up continually in prayer.  Without the prayers of my faithful prayer warriors, I could have never survived.

     And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. (Colossians 3:15-17)
