After The Storm

---

I have been going though a tough time over the last few months. It felt as though my world was coming apart. I thought I was being punished. I cried out in sorrow & anguish. When I was done & was able to become calm, I talked to God. I prayed to Him & let Him know that I believed that He would carry me out of the storm. But I knew I needed to learn from the lesson of my storm. It finally came to me why my storm was happening. In addition to testing my faith, there was something more I had to learn. It, too, came to me. My Lord is preparing me for something great. He had to make sure that I was ready to receive His blessing. I believe I have received that lesson and increased my faith in my Lord. Although I may not go into full details about my storm and my lesson, I will say that I have learned to appreciate what I have and I that I must make good decisions to get where I want to be. I've also learned that there is nothing I can do without my Lord's presence in my life. With Him, my dreams WILL happen & with His blessings to me, I WILL bless others as my Lord sees fit. Lord, God, I thank You for my storm and my lessons learned from it. I thank You, Lord for walking me though my hardship. I thank You, Lord for Your blessings that You have given me and for the blessings You will give in the future. I truly know now, that with You, ALL things are indeed possible. Thank You, Lord.
