I’ve discovered that we are all either in a storm, coming out of a storm or going into a storm at any point in time! There is a way to come through the storms of life better and stronger than before they hit. Let’s talk about it today!
Hey Terri I must first of all say that you have been a tremendous blessing to my life. I listen to your messages EVERY night so its your sweet little voice speaking the powerful word of God that puts me to sleep every night, (don’t worry I mean that as a really good thing). I was listening to your broadcast about the storm and I want to tell you my story.
Terri when my storm began I was coming out of one storm and going right into another. I had just gotten a GREAT job after looking for a job for over nine months and preparing to move out of my moms house. So as I was praying and asking God how I was going to do this because I was homeschooling my four young boys, living on the welfare of $275 per month and the job was about 2 hours away. Well, God said send the boys to their dad. So after a lot of bad feelings but with a determination to obey I obeyed God and sent my boys 900 miles away for the summer. It was then that the second storm began.
I was living with strangers now but because of my determination to stay in faith I left the ladies house I was living at and slept in my car. The next day after work I had a room in an apartment with three other girls. I was happy because it had a door with a lock, a bed and a shower. So I’m working and coming home to this room everyday missing my boys tremendously. A few months later I get a call saying that the courts had granted custody of my boys to their dad. My heart felt like it was completely gone!! I fell on the floor and cried at work. Things continued to happen with this storm, some I started and some I didn’t, either way the devil was using it all.
And now well, the storm is over by faith. I haven’t touched, hugged, kissed or fed my children since April of 2008. Their dad has refused to let me speak to them and I have missed two birthdays and a few teeth falling out. However, I’m still here and I’m going to continue to be here. I WIN! No matter what happens God promised me that he would bring my boys home so I know in my knower that my boys are home. I WIN!!!
Thank you Terri for encouraging me as I come out of this storm. I love you for that. I pray for you and your family knowing that God is with you always. Thank you again. I’m going to put on another one of your messages now and get my beauty sleep! GOD BLESS DEAR!
