He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still. (Psalm 107:29)Then I prayed, "Lord if this doesn't "matter" for eternity, I'd rather it not be cancer."
2009 was a year of lots of storms for the Liles family---many of which would qualify for a "10" on the stress scale---but God.....was there through each storm as our very present help.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)
"Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass; it's about learning how to dance in the rain." This quote, of unknown origin, succinctly states the beginning of my "dance" in my 2009 storm.

ReplyDelete(Jan. 11) confirms your words.
In Mt. 7:24-25 Jesus said,"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock." Praise God that you've built your life on that foundation, Dotsy!
