The book would be good to have. I am praying for peace always in my storms... and the only way to do that as I have realized is to find the eye... where all is calm because that's where Jesus is.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this...<br /><br />Love<br />LidjCrown of Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993686012020045284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-90806125479793017852011-02-22T19:54:07.702-07:002011-02-22T19:54:07.702-07:00Oh, Debbie, I've never been through a storm th...Oh, Debbie, I've never been through a storm that I didn't come through stronger. But, it is so tough at times. We have been dealing with a small storm for several months and it took me some time to feel peace and to release it to HIM. I know in His time He will work it out, one way or the other.<br /><br />Thanks for another great entry!Lea @ CiCis Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09252011706208068724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-75478619625240754532011-02-22T19:48:25.633-07:002011-02-22T19:48:25.633-07:00Well with you on this one...our journey has been y...Well with you on this one...our journey has been years, no physical change, but there has been a change in my heart.

He is so good and faithful all the time. I believe I've grown quite a bit during this time, but I know I've got so much farther to go. But I know He will get me where He wants me when it's time for me to be there as long as I follow one day at a time.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662751045378148853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-6434082088539172932011-02-22T15:12:21.322-07:002011-02-22T15:12:21.322-07:00Hi there, Loved this post and I think we grow more...Hi there, Loved this post and I think we grow more like Jesus when we are in the storms-don't always enjoy them but sure want to be like my Lord.

When I was going through the most difficult time in my life, I clung to the 23 Psalm. I would lie in bed at night and say it over to myself, meditating on every word as I prayed. And everytime, when I got to verse 4: "Even though I walk THROUGH the darkest valley I will fear no evil for you are with me..." I felt His comfort and encouragement. That word gave me such hope. It told me that I wasn't going to be in that place forever. I was moving forward...I was not stagnant. God was with me leading me out.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, Debbie!<br /><br />Blessings, JoanJoan Davis (Jo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305888520649862063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-26123373887340855692011-02-22T09:47:14.858-07:002011-02-22T09:47:14.858-07:00Oh, my....

So often I pray for God to do something that is "around" or any way but THROUGH a difficulty (for us, our kids, grandkids, other loved ones) and I'm a stubborn learner, but I do know that He had better things if we'll let Him take us THROUGH and onto the other side. I've seen Him do astounding things "on the other side" as a result. He is so good.<br /><br />LTLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06961495299893766830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-19962200967279982082011-02-22T09:10:59.496-07:002011-02-22T09:10:59.496-07:00It is "through the storm" that we come t...It is "through the storm" that we come to know him better.<br /><br />So true.

When we look around and see the news about how bad the economy is, the jobless rate, a large state budget shortfall here in Texas, etc., it is easy to become discouraged.<br /><br />However, I know that God is allowing this for a reason. I love the quote about God wanting to take us through the storm - not around it. He has a purpose and a plan for our lives, and yes these storms are part of His plan.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JoanJoan Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430939897829160498noreply@blogger.com
