S = Savior who stills my storms

1/10/10 One year ago today I read in Jesus Calling: " Every time you affirm your trust in Me.....you build up equity in preparation for days of trouble. Practice trusting Me during quiet days....then when storms come, your trust balance will be sufficient to see you through."

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.
