| how could I forget? |

sometimes in the midst of a storm we have trouble finding time to praise the Lord
But we must praise Him...if things were always easy we would never grow, be thankful for our blessings, learn from mistakes, find forgiveness, learn to be humble
so today in the midst of this storm I thank the Lord for my family, my friends, my health, my ability to get up each day
I seek forgiveness for worrying...all it does is reveal that I am not trusting Him enough to handle it
and I do trust in Him!!
Praise You In This Storm
CastingCrowns
I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
Chorus:
I'll praise You in this storm
And i will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The maker of heaven and earth |

| Bless you Heather, thanks for praising in the middle of your storm. I guarantee there are folks who think God is absent during their storms, but seeing folks like you praising in the midst of times of difficulty or hardship gives them strength and a renewed vision of God's power! |

| Mike what a testimony will come from this...when all is said and done I will be sure to share..I just cant right now...and honestly, my flesh doesnt want to praise God right now...but I have to crucify my flesh every moment...right now I want to crawl back into bed and sleep the day away, hide from the world...but I wont do it...so I have some Prasie and Worship music blaring and I am reading blogs, praying, reading the word...making this icky flesh do what my heart knows is true.....God is awesome and I know that He is with my family...in Deuteronomy 31:6 is says to not be afraid, to not tremble that the Lord will go before us and He will never abandon us...who am I to not trust Him on His word? This is what faith is all about my friend...when it seems impossible and doesnt seem to make sense to push forward..P>U>S>H> Pray Until Something Happens He believes in me, He loves me whether I stumble or not, I must have faith that He will continue to guide my family, protect us, we will keep our eyes on Him!! |

Thanks for this. My husband and I are having a little financial struggles right now and I was really upset and was not seeing a way out. I decided to take a short break from my worries and log onto here. I am glad I did, because this has just reminded me that if I trust God he will take care of it all (even though I knew to do just that, I just needed a refresher I guess). It is just hard sometimes not to worry, but I will continue to pray and it will all work out, because God is in control.

| Wow Heather....ur blog really touched me...I can remember (not too long ago) I was going through something with my son....I can relate and its so fresh in my heart i just want to share.... I couldn't even lift my hands and worship God. My mind was soooo consumed. We had a guest speaker that morning and guess what he preached on? Yes you guessed it.....Praising God In the Storm. After the sermon he did alter call.....DON'T YOU KNOW IT.....I RAN TO THE ALTER AND CRIED LIKE A BABY. God is sooo good to us!! Everything worked out just fine. Psalms 55:22 Cast your burdens on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to fall. Thanks again for your blog it is a reminder to me because I'm going through something right now that is trying to consume me. So you know how that one goes....sometimes we end up preaching to ourselves...and its good to remember the times when God brought you through.....it just makes me think..."if he got me through last time....why am I douting this time?" God bless you and your family! |

| Heather,
You expressed a great attitude in the midst of what your going through right now. Our attitude does play a huge part in how we deal with trials. We must praise Him through the storm. Thats one of my all time faviorite worship songs. Thanks for sharing. |

| I dont have internet, so I dont get to see read the blog as often as I would like to, but i di today. Thanks for the reminder. It does get hard once and a while and I tend to forget that I'm not alone, especially when I feel so alone. I guess it's my fault, because I know that God is a gentleman and will not come in unless He is invited, so I just have to remind myself to invite Him more often. |
