HAVE YOU TRIED LISTENING FOR GODWINKS?
Any other time I would have proceeded thru the light...
But what popped into my head...
was like A VOICE telling me to stay still and WAIT.

LEARNING TO CALM YOUR SEAS
Have you been in a STORM... wondering where God is when everything is CRASHING DOWN around you?
Have you been in a situation when it SEEMS as though the SKY is FALLING and God doesn't appear to be noticing you?
Here's a message of encouragement from my dear wife.
TO SUMMON A GUARDIAN ANGEL
I had a FLAT TIRE hundreds of miles from home, in a desolate area.
My 10 year-old son had the perfect solution.
Moments later an orange pickup showed up...
GO AHEAD, PRAY FOR ANYTHING LOST
"I still can't get over it! The most amazing thing ...
... finding my MISSING EARRINGS that were LOST for months.
Here's how it happened..."
UNCERTAIN ABOUT SOMETHING? TRY THIS…
We wrestled whether to sell our home and move to a retirement community. There was so much UNCERTAINTY.
We decided to stay where we've been 38 years.
Then the phone call came in... that changed everything...

LEARNING TO HAVE THE FAITH OF A CHILD
On a scorching day as a 10 year old… I tested God.
I challenged him to give me a dime for a soda.
Instead, He put me in a dust storm!
Then… you can’t imagine how he answered by prayer…

WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM...
America is in the midst of a storm but God is going to use that storm to shift things back into place.
Storms prepare us, they help make us stronger and more useable for God. They even protect us from getting arrogant and prideful. God wants us to be humble and realize that we need HIM!
He is not just the God of the calm but the God of the storm!
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you." Isaiah 43:2
