I Will Praise You in This Storm!

Storms... Trials... Tragedy... Me? Never.

We all face struggles in this life. And through my recent hard time and "storms" in burying my beautiful gift from God- Azlynn Noelle, I can truely say I could never do this alone!

Let's face it, we're all human and we're born with self centered desires and tendencies. We have to learn to be less self centered the older we get! And you really realize how true  this verse is. "This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel." (1 Samuel 17:46 KJV) The very last 13 words of this verse are the very rock upon which we as Christians need to be grounded! The very reason we are all created is that all the earth may KNOW that there is a God! And in dealing with the storms and tragedies God will allow in our lives we can grip onto His promises like we see in this verse. "Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee."(Hebrews 13:5 KJV) I cling onto Gods promises everyday! God is a BIG God!!

I'm so thankful to be joining the LOV blog team of writers and readers! Thanks to all of you for praying. Each and every prayer for us through our loss has kept us strong and encouraged to keep on serving our God. Thank you.

Love,

Azlynns mommy:)
