I Have Been Blessed

Some new updates and prayerfully  encouragement  for any who reads this. I shared some post I had posted in other places. So the dates go back to earlier this month. I'll be doing more with my blog now.

Even in the midst of uncertainty with my health there is reason to rejoice. As of 5/9 I'm a 3 year cancer survivor. So, Even in the midst of more testing and waiting; I am rejoicing that with the Lord, I've come 3 yrs since original diagnosis.

To everyone who was praying for my test on last Friday. Thank you!! I met with my oncologist today. God has once again answered our prayers!!
Cancer Has NOT returned!
There's a few things she's keeping an eye on by having me come back in a four months. I also have to talk with my PCP about some other heart test.

It's hard to believe that three years ago on May 17th, the theme "Make Today Amazing" I started using as the journey or cross to bear, God gave me was starting. Since then a lot has happened. New issues have come up, several surgeries have taken place but through all of what has happened, I've stayed close to God, stayed faithful to God, family and church.

PS. 119:71 "It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes."

I've gotten closer to God.

I Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you."

I've learned to depend on him more and let him take the burden or load.

Psalms 37:4-6 "Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5 Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. 6 And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday."

I delight in each day I have. Yes some days are hard, yes I live daily in pain but God gives me what I need to continue on.

The above verses says how I made it through the past three years and how I'm still making it with ALL the new health issues due to chemotherapy and some due to radiation. I am not perfect, I do have bad days but with the Lords help, my husband and friends I don't stay in the valley.

Friend in the times we are living in, we all have reason to question. However, I don't live in fear. I wear the mask, I social distance but in the end it's because of my health. I believe and feel that's best. Is it that I'm not trusting in God. No. I'm taking caution, I trust in God, I lean on him. If I'm to get sick wether Covid or Cancer I will.

Most important though is knowing and walking with God. If you don't know 100% that your going to Heaven, please contact me. I'd love to share how You can Know that Jesus is Lord and that he lives with you.

So, Make Today Amazing!

Physical Therapy, Living a "Normal" life, Soul winning

Good evening everyone! I hope y'all are doing well and enjoying Spring (depending on where you live) Ha Ha because here in Maine it's still winter. Well, not exactly winter but it seems to be holding on.
So, as you noticed in my title I'm hitting several topics. I've been in and out of Physical Therapy since March of 2018. It's hard to believe that it's been 13 months. I believe, I've had maybe two months of no PT.  I jokingly say, "it's because I really enjoy visiting the Maine General Therapy department and seeing people there. Visiting with my amazing therapist Carol B. which ok, maybe to a point that is true, but in reality I'd love to be done with PT."
I am doing better, it's just seems to be a very slow process with the lymphedema and then my shoulder is acting up. So this is one reason I'm still in PT. My prayer is that I'll be able to stop it by end of summer if not sooner. I know the Lord has a reason for me being there as long as I have. Doesn't' the Lord say he'll "make a way of escape". Hopefully as soon as possible. :D

I have had surgery again, since my last post. March 1st, I had two surgeries done in the same day. One was because of a "mad" gallbladder, the other was kinda precautionary, they found a tumor on my right ovary and rather than waiting to see what it might turn into I opted to go ahead and have a hysterectomy. (Wow! who would have ever thought I could spell these big medical words LOL) Personally I was fine not knowing how to spell them but anyway.... my little side not there :) During that time my wonderful daughter was able to come spend a little time with us. She was a HUGE blessing to me during that week. I did have a few complications but Praise the Lord I've healed from that and I'm doing fine.

Going on to a "Normal" life. Ok, what is normal? I know everyone has their own definition for it. Well, since I have a "new normal" which of course is doctors, test, therapist, etc. I suppose I'll say, for me my normal is getting through the week with:
1. Sunday all day church - was able to do that for the first time in over two months last Sunday. I LOVED IT!
2. Go to my appointments that are scheduled each week.
3. Wednesday Night church - two weeks in a row making Wednesday night church :)
4. Ladies Soul winning on Thursday (started today) WOOHOO
5. For this week WMS :)
These are things that two years ago I never had a second thought about making it to. Now, it's a planned thing. This week was/is a "trial" run to see how I am come Saturday after having a full week but a planned out week. Knowing what was needed for each day. "Do all things decently and in order." By planning my week I'm doing things in a decent order. I don't like to be idle but yet I have to plan that still in my daily life.

I mentioned soul winning. Well, I have given out tracts, talked with people, seen people saved, but there's nothing like that organized Ladies Soul winning time. Today, was such a huge day for me in many ways. I've not actually gone out with church soul winning for a very long time. If you have been through or have health issues you'll understand when I say, just the act of getting ready some days is all you can do. I've over the past 23 months, have had many things church related and not, that I would be completely ready to go and that was as far as I went. It just recently happened on a Sunday morning. Yes, I sat down and cried, I so wanted to go to church but physically I just couldn't. So when I knew today was going to be very busy and I'd be on the go almost all day, I prayed that the Lord would give me the strength to do what needed to be done for the family, for my appointment and soul winning. Yes, Praise the Lord he gave me that strength needed and everything for today was accomplished.

So friend, I just want to say, God has blessed my family, and myself in so many ways. The struggles are there, the bills are rolling in. BUT He is always there! "But my God shall supply ALL my need according to his riches in glory...."

No matter your journey, keep on keeping on! God will guide you and lead you through the valley.

All the way my Savior Leads me

What have I to ask beside?

Can I doubt His tender mercy,

Who through life has been my Guide?

Heavenly peace, divinest comfort

Here by faith in Him to dwell!

For I know whate'er befall me

Jesus doeth all things well;

For I know whate'er befall me

Jesus doeth all things well.

CANCER: When Chemotherapy, Surgery and Radiation is Not Enough...

With it being the one year anniversary since I was the closest to dying that I've ever been. I thought I would share my testimony of that day with you. 

CANCER: When Chemotherapy, Surgery and Radiation is Not Enough...
By: Paula MN Seavey

I had completed the Dana Farber clinical trials in Boston, had a mastectomy and today I was beginning my second round of chemotherapy at my local cancer center in Maine. January 8, 2018, began as any other treatment day for someone living in Maine, cold and snowy.

It was to be a longer treatment because I would be receiving the drug Taxol for the first time.  When I met with my oncologist and her assistant that morning, they explained about the Taxol, also known as Paclitaxel. Dr. Julia explained that I might have one or two reactions, but they assured me there was a way of helping with those. I felt nervous, even a little concerned, but prepared as I had already been through so much during the clinical trial in Boston.

I knew for sure that the Lord was with me and would be with me every step of the way. Isaiah 41:10 “Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”  

I had nothing to fear with God, my husband, my Pastor, our church family and hundreds of others going to God in prayer on my behalf.

I was then taken to the infusion room, where they placed me in chair 13. I’m not superstitious, just thought I’d add that bit of information in for those of you that are. J The wait then began for the go ahead to start the Taxol.  If you’ve never had infusion treatments for anything, it involves much more than just sitting down, receiving your medication, and leaving. They have a whole slew of things that must be done, checked, double checked, and approved before they will even give you the medication. I am very grateful for their cautiousness.

While waiting for the pharmacy to release my medication, my nurse came to my chair and explained a second time about the side effects of Taxol. My pre-medication for any allergic reactions was started. These medications made me so drowsy that I only vaguely remember my visiting family members leaving.

The time came for the Taxol and for the third time , the nurse and doctor went over the “possible” side effects – swelling of lips, tightness in my chest, face feeling like it was being pulled, hard to breath and so on…. Then went the usual questions that I had been asked hundreds of times before (this is no joke)

Nurse: What is your first and last name?

Me: Paula Seavey

Nurse: When is your Birthday?

Me: May 12, 1967

Nurse: Do you understand what we’re giving you and do you have any questions?

ME: Yes I understand and no there are no questions.

Then a second nurse came in and asked me the exact same questions. She started the chemotherapy, handed me the nurses call button, gave a few more instructions and told me to relax and sleep if I could.

After this point, things become vague and I am actually missing hours of that day, and Psalms 23 took on a whole new meaning to me.

It was soon into the treatment when I started feeling very tight in my chest and face, my lips were swelling, and I couldn’t breathe. I recall trying to reach the nurses call button and say my husband’s name. It seemed like time was passing so slowly, but Bill had heard me and immediately called for help. I didn’t even realize I actually said, “Bill.”

Psalms 23:4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

My dear husband had to sit there, unable to do anything but cry and pray as he watched around 5 doctors, and 10 plus nurses and EMT’s quickly gather around me. I had gone into anaphylactic shock and had, had every possible reaction there was. My blood pressure and heart rate dropped to dangerous levels and they were doing all they could to keep me alive, from using an Epi-pen, to oxygen and so much more.

I faded in and out not knowing exactly what was happening. However, I had a peace that is unexplainable. I remember seeing bright lights, then I would be brought to only to fade out again. This happened repeatedly for some time. At one point I remember taking my doctor's arm and saying, “Please don’t make me take this again!”

The next little bit I barely remember except for one funny little thing, Remember I said it was a typical day in Maine, icy and snowy? Well, as they took me outside, I remember seeing the lights to the ambulance and I heard someone yell, “Catch her! Don’t let her roll away!” It seems my gurney and I were leaving on our own. J Then as had been happening, I was out and parts of my day went missing.

While I lay on that bed in the emergency room at Augusta Maine General Hospital, I wasn’t fully aware of how bad things had become. I knew it was serious. As I came to again I saw my Pastor, my husband, and I believe one of my boys, sitting there looking very concerned. I don’t recall if I asked what happened at that moment or not but I knew God had taken care of me, Paula Seavey.

I was told that I invited my nurse to church and witnessed to her. Everyone, my friend, deserves a chance to accept Christ. No one knows when they will face something that could take their life.

Friend, if you were to face death today, just as I did on that cold winter day in January of 2018, would you have the peace that I mentioned earlier? Do you know for sure, without a doubt that you would go to Heaven?

The Bible clearly tells us how we can know that Jesus is our Saviour! One of my favorite verses is John 3:16

“For God so loved the world, (you my friend) that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever (YOU) believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

All you need to do is to see yourself as a sinner needing a Saviour. Then ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins, have faith that He will save you and trust in Him and Him alone. There’s no works, no sacraments, just simple faith that the Lord will save you!  Trust in Christ today! You never know when it could be your time.

Later that fateful winter day I was able to reassure each of my adult children that their momma was going to be okay. I was following my Heavenly Father’s example. He wants to reassure us that all things work according to His plan and His will.

Two weeks after the close call with Taxol, on January 22, 2018, I was back at the Cancer center to start another chemotherapy called, “Abraxane.” I was extremely nervous about it. Through prayer, love, support and the amazing doctors and nurses and most importantly our Great Physician, Jesus; chemotherapy was started and I completed all of it on June 4^th.

This coming Tuesday mark’s one year since that “typical" January day when I was at death's door. I’m forever grateful to the Lord for allowing me to live. God’s not finished with me yet and though this has been difficult for me to put together I believe God has a purpose in having me share the details of this part of my cancer journey.

I know God has always been by my side, even though my human side has felt all alone. However, as a child of God I know He will never leave thee nor forsake thee.

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee: he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.”

As of today I am a Cancer Survivor of a year and 8 months and I’ve been cancer free for a little over a year. Who receives the glory for all this? God does!

Psalms 29:1-2 “Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name….”

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I would love to hear from you if you have accepted Christ or have any questions.

Physical Therapy and One Year Check-up

Good evening to all it's been awhile since I posted an update. My health has been improving over all, there's still some issue with the neuropathy and lymphedema, of which I've been going to therapy for the lymphedema, there will be six more treatments over the next three weeks which, if you were to ask me, "Do I feel it's helping?" Today would be a resounding NO, although I know it is, simply because I've gained some range of movement back and they discovered why I have some issues with my wrist and thumb. So, yes though painful, physical therapy is proving very helpful.

So to move on to my one year check-up I first want to back up to a conference I went to with our church in Connecticut. All of the speakers were very good and each spoke on How God helped them through their trial or journey. I'll be using some scripture that was shared there and that I've also studied while going through my journey.

Romans 5:1 "THEREFORE being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:"
In this verse we see, have peace with God. That is exactly how I got through the past 18 months. Knowing that the Lord was in control and that no matter the results I could have peace with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Did I always feel that peace or rely on it, no because I'm human. I can say though that I had peace with each decision made concerning my health and if there wasn't peace I would ask if I could have some time before giving my answer.

Romans 8:28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God...." This verse can be applied in so many areas one of which is yours, mine, any ones health. See back on November 13, 2017 I had no idea how the Lord could use getting a mastectomy for good. Through this journey I've seen people saved, doctors, other patients, people I meet shopping or on a trip. So, then on November 21st I received a call from my surgeon and he wanted to inform me that he was 99% sure that all cancer had been removed. Then a year, and five days later I make the trip with my husband back to Boston for a one year check-up and to have a few test ran. Upon meeting with my surgeon, his nurse, and my oncologist they told me that there was NO sign of cancer or cancerous cells! They're is a quote I've seen that I truly applies here: 

Sometimes I just Look Up, Smile and Say, "I know that was you GOD! Thank You!" 

This is exactly what I said, when I heard I've officially been cancer free for one year and five days. Because I and a hundred plus others are doing/did this clinical trial it's showing the medical field what they can do and for me, what God can do! I've always known the Lord would take care of me and my family. But over the past year plus I've really learned what it means when the Lord said, "..But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory.." It's not just the spiritual, or just the physical, it's not just the material but ALL your need according to his riches. 

As I sat in the conference in Connecticut listening to Mrs. Clark, Amy Vassak and others, he showed me that no matter the journey, no matter the trial God will take care of each of us. Satan will attempt to discourage you and to put you down. 

Matthew 4:10 "Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shall worship the LORD thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." 

6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." 

Don't let Satan get you down, discouraged or distracted. Stay focused on the Lord, seek him first. If you will fully rely on the Lord he will get you through your trial or journey. As I look back over the last 18 months I can say, I know when I was relying and depending on the Lord and the times I wasn't. Just as I can tell in my daily goings on. If I get up and rush into my day, it doesn't go nearly as smoothly as it does on the days I pray and have my time with the Lord. 

So as an overall view I'm a cancer survivor of 18 months. I'm cancer free for one year now, and even though I have a few lingering issues from having chemo, lymph nodes removed and radiation God is control and he knows my every tomorrow and HE is the one I lean on for my strength through the journey.  

So the question to you is:" Who will grow in the Lord, depend on him for strength, trust in Him because of your testimony in your trial or journey?

Another Surgery, biopsy, results

I just keep trusting my Lord,

As I walk along!

I just keep trusting my Lord,

And he gives a song.

Though the storm clouds darken the skies,

Or the heavenly trail,

I just keep trusting my Lord 

As I walk along....

He's a faithful friend,

Such a faithful friend

I can count on him

To the very end!

Though the storm clouds darken the skies

Or the heavenly trail.

I just keep trusting my Lord

As I walk along!!

Yes, that is what I have done for well over a year, and I had to once again, say, "Lord, if cancer is my life then I trust in you!"  I was waiting to say anything about this last surgery because there was a concern the cancer had returned just three months after finishing chemo. Praise the Lord, though even though located two cc from the original tumor, it was a very enlarged cyst that was irritated due to radiation/chemo. On Wednesday, 9/12 I had surgery/biopsy to have the cyst removed. Then on Thursday, 9/20 I got the results back, which was benign! We are praising the Lord for that!! Just because the road looks clear and the storm clouds seem to have settled don't stop trusting in the one, the only one that can and will take care of and heal you.

I am having some issues with the lymphoedema, and maintaining range of movement in my left arm, but God has given me the strength to do the daily exercises. Even if I don't regain full movement I'm very thankful for what I have.

Friend, God has purpose and time for everything we go through. Two of children and their families as well as my parents have gone through a huge valley with Hurricane Florence, and one of my children recently with their own health issues. Though I, was very stressed over this and at times worried a lot about them and the situation. God was always there. He has answered several prayers over the last two weeks and I know that my God will answer prayers in his time, and as we need them.

Don't give up praying! Prayer works and as the Bible says, "Pray without ceasing." It doesn't mean we're to pray all day and all night, but rather we are to pray daily, several times during the day. Somethings that you can us to look for and pray more than during your devotional time, or dinner time, or before bed. Have things that remind you of people, situations etc.
For example:
--When I come across a penny I now pray for all who have been affected by a Hurricane. This includes those that have already recovered because the heartache, pain, etc is still with them. I have a friend in Louisiana who lost everything and recently mentioned how the memories, the tears had come back.   My family and all those, who just come through and is still going through clean up and rebuilding from Florence. They have now been added to that list when I come across a penny.
--My wedding rings when I'm busy and I look down (or now feel them on the necklace) I pray for my husband.
--I see a prayer bulletin or something that reminds me of my church family. I pray for them, my pastor and his family.
These are just a sample of things I use to remind to pray for different ones. Do I always do it, no because I'm human and I forget or think I'll pray later. My goal is though to never let an opportunity pass by to pray for someone.

So, no matter your trial, or valley, or situation remember we have a God that answers prayers and will answer our prayers if we only ask.

Life after _________. What do you need to put in the blank?

Hello my dear friends, I am so sorry I've not kept up but as I have completed all my treatments and radiation I'm been trying to simply get things to a "new normal". If you have battled any sickness or had any life changing things take place in your life you will understand sometimes what was can no longer be the norm.

I have asked myself and others, in a teasing manner, what is normal? Hee hee I suppose it all depends on the person, doesn't it?! Oh well, I'm now working on a "new normal" for me. Of course in the last two months I have had a son get married, and a son go off to Bible college, my husband had surgery and tomorrow is my three month check-up so there's a lot of "new normal" going on. So I thought I'd share some of what I'm doing that is being a huge help in getting Life going again.

First is, I'm working on having a menu for our evening meals. Reason being some days I still don't feel up to cooking or some days I forget to plan for an evening meal. So for the last month I have had daily menus and it's amazing how not only do I save money on groceries but I know each day exactly what I need.

EX: Monday 9/3 Hot dogs (with all fixings) I have listed anything that we as family enjoy on hot dogs, potato salad, corn on the cob, and salad.

Tuesday 9/4 Beef Stew (Rival Crock Pot Page 32) then I list items I need to purchase on my menu

Wednesday 9/5 Chicken (Rival Crock Pot Page 20) again Items I needed to purchase I listed and bought on this past Saturday when I went shopping.

Thursday 9/6 Subs, chips, baked beans

Friday 9/7 Left overs

Saturday 9/8 Pizza, chips

Sunday 9/10 varies

This just gives anyone who may be interested in doing a menu a general idea. Yes, some of these meals is what we're actually having :) this week. Now what happens if we don't have left overs or enough to feed everyone - that is where I have a stir-fry or something I can pull out of the freezer and ta-da dinner is served. :)

The Bible teaches that everything should be done decently and in order. In order for me to do that I must plan. Then not only do I plan but I follow that plan. Sometimes I have to be flexible when other times I can follow it to the T. The goal though is to do things decently and in order.

I also have a cleaning schedule because over the last year things were neglected and things were not always done. So to get a deep cleaning in and to make sure all things are done decently and in order I have a list that I follow.  EX: Monday - Laundry and work on Kitchen; Tuesday - Bathroom scrub the floor etc. and so on and so forth. Each day of the week gives me something to focus on.

Then on top of that I have things that get done daily:
Devotions - staying in Gods word and keeping him the center of my life
Piano - I need to practice daily to learn and get to where when I play for church it's for Gods glory and I know I've put forth my best effort to be prepared.
Dishes - who wants to walk into a dirty kitchen etc.

So as you see, things I use to just do or not do I now plan. I've heard a theory used in several ways and I use it and a friend shared how she uses it with her anxiety. It's the spoon theory this helps me to keep my "new normal" going in a decent and orderly fashion. I will say, I'm very thankful I have more good days than bad now and God has without a doubt blessed us beyond measure.

So friend, you may have a hidden illness, a visible illness, a heartache, or anything but remember to stay in God's word, stay before Lord in prayer, do what you can, and to the best of your ability with the Lords help you WILL get through each day. You may not accomplish every task you set for that day, but if you put your best foot forward and if you have only 5 spoonful's of energy do what you can, so you can be what you need to be for your family.

I know there's not been a lot of scripture but really there is life after __________________ and whatever you maybe going through. (fill in the blank) If today was bad, figure out what went wrong and change it to make tomorrow Absolutely Ridiculously Amazing! :)

There's Always A Rainbow After The Storm

What storms have you faced recently? Did you look for the Rainbow afterwards?

Nahum 1:3, 7

"The LORD is slow to anger and will at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him."

Psalms 107:28-30

"Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired heaven."

In reading these verses, we see how God has full control the storm. The Lord can calm the wildest storm and make everything peaceful and quiet. How can we apply this to our lives?

When a storm hits such as financial trouble, sickness, death, etc the Lord knows how to calm your sea of turmoil. He knows what you need, who  you need, and when you need the quiet, peaceful haven. Are you putting your trust in him to do that for you?

We have recently come through the storm and days of trouble as I'm sure many of you have as well. Let me say here, if you're thinking all is good for me and I'm going to be just fine. You need to step back and first be thankful the sea is calm, but beware of the calm before the storm. I would have never in a hundred years expected to have or get cancer. However, the rough seas came and I/we had to endure the storm of uncertainty, of doctors, of over 60 appointments from January of this year to June 4th. This is not counting all the appointments from May 9, 17 to December. I had to ride the rough sea of going through surgery, and radiation, BUT There was a quiet time coming a time of peacefulness, a time where my haven was calm and the waves weren't pounding at my door.

Friend when you go through a storm remember, there's a rainbow after the storm is gone. What is that rainbow? It's a promise from God that he knows and is with us. When you come through the storm and yes while in the storm you should Praise the Lord, trust in him and continually praise and trust in Him, during after the storm.

Psalms 34:1, 3-4, 8, 17-20, 22
"I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.


We should always praise the Lord. I know at times we may even feel he's not with us. However, he is and when he's quiet it is during the test or the trial you maybe going through. As we go through life there will be many afflictions and many storms that knock us down, we simply need to get up, dust ourselves off, thank the Lord that we have this minute, this hour, this day, month or year, and keep on praising God for all he's done and will do.

The topic "There's always a rainbow after the storm". Can be viewed in several ways. My thoughts are simply:
1. The storms of life will come
2. How you view it is up to you
3. Look for the rainbow after you come through the storm
4. Praise the Lord for what you learn during the storm and for allowing you to see the rainbow at the end.
5. Whatever you do, DON'T let Satan win by complaining, moaning and groaning over the storm.

No matter the size of your storm, God is in control and he knows your tomorrows. The greatest part is, He's already there!!! So, "Rejoice in the Lord alway and again I say Rejoice". "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path".

The joy of the Lord is my strength - through the storm, through the valley, on the side of the mountain and on the mountain top.
