📖 Isaiah 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame scorch you.
📖 Mark 4:39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, ‘Peace, be still!’ And the wind ceased and there was a great calm.
🌩️ God’s Voice Above the Storm
📖 Psalm 29:3-4
“The voice of the Lord is over the waters…
The voice of the Lord is powerful;
the voice of the Lord is majestic.”📖 Psalm 46:1-2
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear…”
Why does God allow what He could stop?
💌 Dear Friends,
People often ask if God answers prayer.
I believe He does.
Sometimes His answer comes through Scripture.
Sometimes through peace.
Sometimes through circumstances we never expected.
And sometimes, His answer arrives with such clarity that it feels like a lightning bolt through the heart.
What God allows, I do not always understand.
There are storms I wish He would block before they ever reached us.
But I am learning this: even when I do not understand His methods, I can still trust His character.
God may allow the storm.
But He never leaves us alone in it.
With love,

Not Alone 🌴
Not Alone
Storms can make us feel alone.
Not always because no one cares.
Sometimes because no one really knows what we are carrying.
Sometimes life hurts because someone failed us.
Sometimes it hurts because we are disappointed in ourselves.
And sometimes the hardest part is admitting that we are tired of being strong.
That is why Isaiah 43:2 matters so much to me.
God does not say the waters will never rise.
He says, “I will be with you.”
That is the part I keep coming back to.
With you.
In the confusion.
In the waiting.
In the grief.
In the questions we cannot answer yet.
If you are in a storm today, maybe this is the reminder you needed too.
You are not forgotten.
God sees you.
And you are not walking through this alone.
What better way to get the blood flowing and remind us that brighter skies are still out there?
🍍 Sweetness — God’s goodness.
Until Next Time
Storms do not last forever.
The wind settles.
The clouds break.
And somewhere beyond the horizon, the sun is already rising.
Until next time, friends.
